Tuto that works on PC.

I have been looking for weeks at how to launch two instances of Chrome, one on each screen (I have a bi-screen, or dual-screen).

I wanted Chrome to launch in full screen and each one a different "design" page from Jeedom.

I found a lot of complex solutions and finally a simple solution that I give you.

References:

My old PC is on W7, I had to install PowerShell 4 and .NET Framework 4.5, starting from Win8.1 it is not necessary.

Steps:

  • Upload this file and install everything in C:Kiosk-Mode
  • Open the Ciklum-Kiosk.ps1 file and modify the two links to your "design" pages, it will look like a http://192.168.0.21/index.php?v=d&p=plan&plan_id=1&fullscreen=1
  • In the same file, replace $chromeArguments = '--new-window --incognito' by $chromeArguments = '--new-window'
  • Launch PowerShell as administrator and type: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
  • Set the shortcut: Start – Kios – modify path in Programs/startup so that all this starts at the start of the PC

To go further, you can continue with: Launch two instances of Jeedom (Chrome) on two monitors on the same PC
