| [](kiosk_tablet.yaml) | Shares Garage-then-Front-Door priority plus reusable Bedroom header/alert state while keeping each display purpose-built. The Garage view now remains active for three minutes after both doors close before either kiosk returns to its default dashboard. Bedroom retains Fully wake/drift recovery and SleepIQ screen behavior around a clock-free night-watch display; Kitchen retains its clock/forecast, rotating household context, native camera overlays, Kiosk Satellite idle dimming, and an event-driven household policy that corrects master volume to 13% at 08:00 and startup, and invokes the Dim screensaver while `group.bed` is on or the family is away. Nearby rain or lightning starts one five-minute NOAA radar takeover while the sun is above the horizon; afterward, the rotating Storms Approaching banner can replay the latest 20-minute loop while the event remains active. Actionable banner slides reuse one transient detail timer for NWS instructions, the front-door package view, a person-centered family map, open-entry details, Phyn water status with a confirmed valve-restore action, and hot-water recovery status. Sunset restores the ambient wall immediately. True idle panel-off remains disabled on the Crown LineageOS device until it has a reliable motion-wake input. Fully availability/page/app/power checks plus Kitchen connectivity, current-page, and screenshot freshness keep the Systems Kiosks tab truthful; a reachable Kitchen display remains online while stale session timestamps remain visible only in the telemetry panel. Available Kitchen updates remain advisory telemetry, while stable attention attributes preserve useful outage transitions without recording every heartbeat. At 07:00, Home Assistant requests the pending signed installer and waits two minutes for staging before dispatching Joanna to finish the Android confirmation and verify the Kitchen Show returns to its dashboard; an unsuccessful installation is retried at 07:00 the following day until the update entity confirms success.

### Dreame vacuum automations
- Logic lives in [](vacuum.yaml): continuous four-phase loop (sweep main, sweep baths, mop main, mop baths) driven by `input_select.l10s_vacuum_phase` and `input_text.l10s_vacuum_room_queue`, with per-room notifications and automatic reseeding between phases.
- Uses the Dreame HACS integration with segment IDs to enforce bathrooms last in each sweep/mop pass, dock on arrival, and auto-run if idle for 3+ days.
- Family-return docking now ignores away windows shorter than 20 minutes so brief walks do not interrupt an active run, but still docks if the family stays home for 10 minutes.
- Uses the Dreame HACS integration with segment IDs to enforce bathrooms last in each sweep/mop pass. An away departure starts or resumes the remaining queue; after a full four-phase cycle the On-Demand switch turns off and the queue resets.
- Family return stops the active task before docking, including mid-cycle mop returns. The remaining room queue is retained until the next departure; a 10-minute home trigger provides a retry if the first arrival edge was missed.
- At 5 PM, a new cycle may start only while the family is away and at least four full days after the last phase started. Vacation Mode does not disable this four-day cadence.
- Room queue advances on a 2-minute dwell in `sensor.l10s_vacuum_current_room` (queue = remaining rooms); phase changes happen when an empty queue is reseeded and the vacuum is not actively cleaning.
- One-off room cleaning for Alexa uses `input_boolean.l10s_vacuum_clean_*` (example: "Kitchen Clean") and runs a segment job without touching or checking the phased queue.
- Formal Dining (room 17/dock) is excluded from phased queues; clean it via the one-off toggle.
