If we forget the alarm code and everything is in tablet mode (so locked), how do we access Gladys?
I managed to get out of it with access via Gladys Plus, which was not locked -
Otherwise, when I switch to tablet mode, what does this phrase mean « If you want to force a tablet to stay in full-screen mode, you can add ?fullscreen=force to the URL »
You don’t need to put everything in tablet mode. As the name suggests, it’s for tablets, so you can always access it from your phone or PC. What’s the point of putting everything in tablet mode?
As the phrase says, it forces full-screen mode. So it’s the same function as the Full Screen button you find on the dashboard
Well, that’s exactly what I don’t want to do: put EVERYTHING in tablet mode. The issue is that when I switch to « tablet mode » on my tablet, it also switches on the PC to tablet mode! And as a result, on both the PC AND the tablet, only the keyboard is displayed. And if I access Gladys locally from my phone, it’s also the keyboard that appears. However, if I access it with Gladys Plus from my phone, I do get the dashboard…
Hello @Chris75,
I’ll clarify how it works, as there’s a point that isn’t explicit enough in the interface (and that’s my fault 
).
Tablet mode is configured per browser.
When you open the « Tablet Mode » popup and select a house, you’re declaring that the device you’re clicking on is a tablet. This isn’t a global setting for the house. There’s no mechanism that propagates tablet mode from one device to another: each browser has its own session, and the setting is saved to that session only.
So if your PC and phone display the keyboard when you arm the alarm, it’s because tablet mode was also enabled from these browsers at some point. It’s very easy to do without realizing, as the popup text doesn’t specify « this device », I’ll fix that.
To switch your PC and phone back to normal mode:
On each of these devices: Dashboard → top-right menu → Tablet Mode → select « Tablet Mode Disabled » → Save.
If you’re stuck with the keyboard everywhere:
Two simple solutions, without needing the code:
- Go directly to
http://<ip-de-ta-gladys>/login: the login page remains accessible even when the device is locked. You log back in, which creates a new session not in tablet mode, and you regain normal access. - Or open Gladys in a private browsing window, same result.
And of course Gladys Plus, as you did 
Forgotten alarm code:
No panic, you never need to « retrieve » it: go to Settings → Houses, the « Alarm Code » field is there, and you can display it in plain text with the eye icon to the right of the field (or simply enter a new one). You just need an unlocked device to access it.
About ?fullscreen=force:
This parameter is for tablets in kiosk mode. It does two things:
- it opens the dashboard in fullscreen when the page loads,
- it hides the fullscreen / exit fullscreen buttons from the interface, so you can’t exit fullscreen from Gladys.
It’s therefore the equivalent of the dashboard’s fullscreen button, but forced and non-disabled from the interface. Small note: browsers prevent going fullscreen without user action, so depending on the browser, you might need a first click on the page for fullscreen to actually activate.
Ben there it works now with a different browser or private browsing!
Thanks
