This was a home automation project to create an aesthetically pleasing magnetic wall mount with wireless charging for an iPad mini that still allows the iPad to be used as normally and for the iPad to charge even with screen on.
There was a nest thermostat already on this wall so the wood plaque was to try and keep the install beat and still look nice when iPad is removed.
I use this for music, CCTV, lighting, family calendar and shopping lists, nest thermostats, alarm, tv and Apple TV remote, weather, news etc...
Ask questions below in comments as I know that some of the steps have been skipped in the video due to me working on it and not taking pictures!

Sorry it was a once off as it was made to fit exactly to the wireless pad I obtained.

I want something like this just so I can throw my iPad at it and watch it stick until I miss and need a new iPad. 🤔

Hi Jeffrey, apologies for late reply, the wireless charging gas held up well, eventually had to use a two part glue mix to hold on the magnets though, (trial and error) and it’s been up a while. Only issue has been that the iPads own screen is failing, resolution has dropped and some lines/delays in screen occurring. This doesn’t seem to be due to anything we have done other than the iPad itself having an issue, will replace lcd and all will be good again. Overall very happy with it.

The magnet will damage the battery.

Nope plenty of stands & cases with magnets in them, these ones are not particularly strong its just I use magnets on both the mount and the case so its strengthens its connection.
