Setting up night rest for the screen
Let the screen of a tablet or kiosk go off or black at night, at fixed hours or following your organization's opening hours.

A tablet that is on all night uses power and can cause screen burn-in. With night rest, the screen goes off or black during the hours the park is closed. The other screen options, such as dimming, are covered under Device settings.
Before you start:
- If you want the screen to really go off and be able to wake up remotely, first set the tablet up as a kiosk and put the app on the battery exception list. See Setting up a kiosk.
- If you choose your organization's opening hours, fill those in first. See Organization.
Setting up night rest
Open the Screen and sleep tab
Open the device via SettingsTablets & kiosks and click the Screen and sleep tile. Find the Night rest group.
Choose the Night mode
Choose Fixed hours and fill in From and Until. A schedule that runs past midnight, such as 22:00 to 07:00, is allowed.
With Off, Tillor does not schedule any sleep.
Choose the Sleep style
Black overlay puts a black layer over the picture, and a tap wakes it straight away. Screen off really switches the panel off.
Click Save and push
At the top right of the group it says when the next sleep starts.
What happens next?
- During night rest the screen goes off or black, even if Keep screen on is switched on. Night rest takes priority.
- Touching it wakes the screen briefly.
- At the end of the schedule the screen returns to normal.
- During night rest Tillor does not send a notification that the device is offline.
- If you want to wake the screen or put it to sleep outside the schedule, use Remote actions.
