Hello,

who has installed a tablet wall mount?
If yes, which bracket was used and what type of power supply was chosen?

Regards

I once considered it, especially regarding automation and so on.

As far as I know, there are various mounts available for different tablets, some even tailored specifically to individual models. Surface-mounted, recessed, snap-in frame mounts, etc.
You could, for example, install a deep flush-mounted box behind the tablet and draw power from there.

Like this, for example (InWall mounting also possible).

I did that.
Chose an Android tablet because I got a good deal on Black Friday.
I searched for a mounting bracket for a long time and eventually found a fixed one that was reasonably priced. It might be almost the same model as the one shown by @Benutzer200. I also debated a lot whether to go for a fixed mount or a removable one.
The combination of a modern, simple, flat bracket with a removable tablet is available, but according to my research, it costs about as much as the tablet itself.
Besides, knowing myself and my family, the tablet would always end up lying around somewhere and wouldn’t find its way back to the mount. Since the tablet has a control function, it should always be there by the bathtub when I want to use it. I don’t want to have to search for it first, so I decided on a fixed installation.
Before that, I had a deep flush-mounted box installed and ran power, LAN, and bus cables into it, to stay flexible for the future. Currently, an in-wall charger is installed so the tablet always has power.

The main issue I see with a tablet is the battery. If it is constantly plugged in, the battery will wear out quickly since it is always receiving power. It would be better if the battery could be removed from the tablet and the device could run solely on external power. For this reason, I have currently decided against using a tablet and instead use a regular tablet or smartphone to control the various smart home applications. However, I have not completely ruled out the fixed installation option yet.

Does the battery really matter if the tablet is permanently installed anyway? Alternatively, a remotely controllable charger that only charges when the battery is below 20% and stops charging at 80%.

Better to install a touch display. But seriously:
1. In a smart home, processes should run automatically. Manual control should only be needed for special functions.
2. If you want to control something, you’ll usually use the smartphone or tablet you have on hand.

In our home, only guests or the cleaning staff occasionally use one of the displays.
