In this video I take you through building my perfect smart home control panel with Home Assistant, I have wanted to do this for years and today is finally the day! I take you through my requirements for building my wall mounted smart home control panel, part selection and how I actually built it into my smart home, as well as some Home Assistant automations I have planned for it. I also show you the software for the wall panel too!

    My home page for my wall tablet has the thermostat, alarm, weather, and I use conditional cards on mine to not clutter the display and only have items to control when I needed, or information when necessary. These include: - Card for severe weather alerts (tapping will show the attributes which is the alert information in-depth from US NWS) - Card for when the UV index is high or above - Card for if the garage is open (tapping allows the option to close) - Card for if certain doors are locked - Cards for certain lights that kids use, but don't turn off (tapping will turn off instantly or pop up options if they are RGB to change colors) I have other lovelace pages for cameras around the house and one for traffic cameras for intersections on our commute. This is great to see during the winter and know which route to take, or see if there is a wreck or just big back up for some reason. It is nice that they only pop up when I need to see them and not have to scroll or go to different pages to see what is important. I want to interact with HA as little as possible, it should be all automated. I use the light sensor from the tablet to automate lights in the area, and of course the camera is used for waking and sleeping the screen. I use a kindle fire HD8 and a Makes by Mike mount. I also use Fully Kiosk.

    First of all thank you for making great video(s) I wasn't quite decided if I should go into it right now but this is so inspiring that I've already ordered one for myself :D. My main motivation is to use it as a first point of contact for every member of my family. First point of contact for: - Relevant information/warnings regarding house/meetings/analysis - Surveillance system - Control Hub for heating, irrigation system, media etc basically all gadgets that I have integrated in HA Also I want ability to wake up tablet and show some of these information/warnings to passing person when certain conditions are met (type of event, time etc) i.e. Garbage (people use to forget to put them out or they don't know which one is collecting), Door Bell, Intrusion, Important news about weather or just daily forecast early morning.

    I have a wall tablet. It uses the picture elements card extensively to make a 3d plan of my apartment. Rooms light up when lights come on. It has a lot of functionality but mostly it just looks good! I was fortunate that there is wiring for an alarm system that wasn't used so I ran the power through that from the cupboard the alarm wires go to.

    Aaah yes, the benefits of having hollow walls. Here in Belgium, almost every house is constructed with bricks, even the walls inside. When I renovated my home 10yr ago I never thought of having a smart home. Now I want a screen on the wall but the only way to achieve that is to create a large slit in the wall. It can be done with minimal dust but you have to have specialized tools. For now I guess I have to settle with a tablet holder on my living room closet. Nice job on the tablet holder btw!

    Nice video. I had a similar project and went with many of the same steps as you did. One thing though I can recommend to you is in the android settings: Battery Saver mode. Most modern tablets should have that. It will only allow your tablet to charge to a certain percentage (60 or 80 or something like that) which will keep your battery healthy and from balooning up, keeping your installation healthy for years. Then you also don't need to use a smart socket for charging anymore. Depending on the power draw of the smart socket, it can even save you power to just let the charger cplugged in 24/7.

    I went exactly through the same journey a couple years back. I used a Kindle Fire HD 10 with a PoE adapter for two years until the battery shat the bed and started to shut down the tablet. I switched to a used 5th gen iPad because of the better battery management in iOS. You can wake the iPad when it’s in single app mode with a separate motion sensor and a homekit notification btw!

    Very cool. Great job and thanks for the share. I've been tossing around the idea for a command center, but always found that the benefits of having one vs. time and money just didn't pan. Meaning, I have my phone on me, pretty much 24/7, and have all the controls with a few clicks in my hands. You did, however, bring up one idea that might just have pushed me over to make one. Having the door bell cam automatically pop up, on the screen, when motion or door bell rang would be great. It would reduce the need to try and figure out what's happening from the small peep hole, and even communicate with them, without pulling out my phone, opening the app, and taking precious time to figure out who's there. Subbed and keep 'em coming :)

Couple of things I’ve done which might be an idea for you… Firstly I canabalised a wireless charging adapter, and wired it into a PoE adapter, giving it a near invisible profile on the tablet itself. Second, I switched to using a front end called Tileboard rather than HA’s Lovelace. Check it out, some great integrations with HA that makes it much more tablet friendly. Great video mate, keep it up!

They have some with the flattest possible right-angled USB-C head. Just cut the wire loom part off. Might allow you shave a bit more off that mount.

I've set up a supervised iPad in single app mode to only load home assistant, and found that I can power it via a poe to usb converter. The plan is to use it with my unifi gear and create an automation to start and stop charging based on power levels by enabling and disabling the poe port. Now I just need to find a place to move to and get it networked up. Found a nice mountable metal case for it, as iPads have loads of options out there. Don't think I'll be able to wake it with motion detection but hey, can't have it all.
