Session time out on power BI digital signage devices

[Anonymous]

I have a shop floor "live" digital KPI board hanging 20 ft above a machine that helps operators understand whether or not they are meeting their goals for the shift. I am using Power BI service on a digital signage device to display the dashboard that refreshes (Direct Query) once per minute. Unfortunately every 24 hours my session times out, and I have to manually sign back in to PBI on the digital signage device to ge the display "up and running" again. 

Is there a work around for this, or any way to make the production display 24/7/365 with no sign in needed? 

Thanks

Although this is a bit after the fact, I've heard of similar pain points from many others.

I've built a custom digital signage app exclusively for Power BI to overcome this, it's called Displagent. In my app, you create an Azure App Registration and provision a user account with a Power BI license, and then you save all of that information into Displagent. Displagent then encrypts and uses that information to embed Power BI reports and Power BI dashboards for you, and it's done automatically, without the need for any user interaction. You never have to deal with session timeout issues because it programatically embeds and refreshes your content. Check it out if interested.

I looked at each of theses articles, and they were all irrelevant to power BI session timeout as a signed in user. The articles were about query and dataset timeouts, totally different.
