Kiosk Browser - Automatic Configuration JSON

The automatic config feature in Kiosk Browser allows you to specify a Url (Settings > Advanced) where Kiosk Browser will check for config changes every 15 mins. For example https://www.android-kiosk.com/kbconfig.json This allows you to keep your devices configured consistently but also allows you to easily make changes.

The below list of properties is a complete list of all configuration properties. They are all optional, if you do not include a specific property, the default setting from Kiosk Browser is used instead. If you have already configured a device with the required settings you can export your config to a JSON file stored publicly on our servers for 15 minutes. Go to Settings > Admin > Create Automatic Configuration File.

Please note that some fields require specific strings as detailed in the comments (comments must not be included in the final json as it does not support comments).

It's possible to clear a string property by just using an empty string "". Null can be applied to all of the sleep/wake/restart times

Licensing

You can automatically activate licences via JSON property as per below:

{
     "licence_key": "12345"
}
