Intro
If you’re setting up a permanent device (a phone or tablet that stays in one place), a good mount or stand makes the difference between a good and a great experience. You get a screen that’s always in reach, always charged, and always ready to control your space with zendō.What to mount (and where)
Please pick a location that’s easy to reach but not in the way.- Wall-mounted tablet: Great for entrances, kitchens, and hallways.
- Desk/counter device: Great for reception desks, cafés, studios, and workshops.
- Power: Plan where the charging cable and power supply will live (ideally hidden).
- Wi‑Fi: Mount where your network is strong and stable.
- Glare: Avoid direct sunlight and reflections if you can.
- Height: Aim for comfortable eye level, so it’s easy to glance at.
Recommended devices
These are solid choices for a permanent zendō device:- iPad (regular iPad)
- iPad Air
- iPad Pro
- Samsung Tab A11
Recommended mounts and stands
If you want a clean, premium install, please consider Displine wall mounts or stands. They’re built for permanent installs and are designed to keep the tablet securely mounted and powered, which is exactly what you want for a “set it and forget it” zendō device.Power options for a permanent install
If you’re doing a tidy, “built‑in” setup, Displine also offer two good options for powering a wall tablet:- USB‑C flush mount power supply (20W): Great when you just need reliable power via USB‑C. See Displine 20W flush mount power supply with USB‑C.
- PoE converter (10W): Great when you want power (where PoE is available). See Displine PoE Converter 10W.
Lock the device down
Once the hardware is sorted, please set the tablet up as a dedicated controller:- For iOS devices, please enable Guided Access.
- In zendō, please enable Ambient Mode so the screen stays on and dims automatically.
