I tried using a piece of banana fastened to this drinky bird in order to keep this phone from locking. (Corporate MDM policy won’t let you change the auto-lock to go longer than one minute.)
While banana and potato pieces are capacitive and do register as touch, the drinky bird doesn’t have enough force to trigger it.
I ended up finding a workaround with voice commands that I’ll share later, but I had fun trying weird stuff with the drinky bird.
