with me it runs nicely on a Samsung Galaxy S8+ smartphone (with a rather small display, 1 440 x 2 960 on 5.8") -
and on a 10" Amazone Fire HD tablet with 1920 x 1080 resolution (was about 50% reduced at Amazon Prime Day
).
So I have sort of the extremes (sizewise - the processors of both are rather strong).
Of course it looks better and is better readable on the 10" screen.
You can also run it in an Android emulation like NOX on a Windows PC or laptop or on a MAC OS machine.
There is no big graphics capability needed for the display and the processor will not have too much to work on it either from what I experience.
On a tablet with your specifications (8", 800 x 1280) it should run nicely too.
On my Fire tablet it looks like this (see attachment) - choice of color is individual, that's my current choice (on my Samsung Smartphone it's all black and white - a matter of taste). The difference of the two pictures is on the right hand side where PWT scrolls through different sensors (Pic1 - soil moisture, Pic2 - WH31 sensors).
The little battery warning symbol in the middle of the bottom bar was actually one of my PM2.5 sensors accumulators which needed recharge as the solar panel wouldn't get enough energy these days with solar radiation below 100-200 W/m2. Tapping on it displays the error message with time stamp. Nicely done!
Storage you need for the history - how much I don't know yet because I haven't figured out yet where exactly the history is stored in the file system. But the history exports (ZIP files) are rather small.
The whole idea of PWT is to use an old(er) tablet as a console display for the GW1000 - and this job it does well in my opinion.
It's optically not as nice as a HP2551 console display, but that was never the goal I guess. And with the 10" or 8" in your case the display is bigger than the HP2551 display.
Nice piece of work.
