You don’t need an Alexa for that, anyway. I have LCARs touch panels around my house plus the HA app on my phone with custom interfaces for all of them.
Do you have a good source in English? I’m looking for some nice panel solutions but what I found so far is a guy that did a complete EIB install with touch screen and is in German. I’d really like better touchscreen HUD access to my home assistant and haven’t made much progress from the information I’ve found myself.
Oh ok, thank you. I thought it was specific hardware which I think got my search focused around Star Trek display replicas.
I do see this is the same thing I read about and watched a video of but it is in English, I’m not sure why I had trouble finding something in English, anyway, I can’t wait to try getting this implemented. I really appreciate you sharing.
Right on! There’s quite a bit of theme dependencies you’ll need to setup first but once you get past the configuration, doing the actual layout is super easy, just time consuming.
Once I had my display panels setup, I made a kiosk user that defaults to the screen I want and then used a unit file on the raspberry pi, configured to log in on boot to the display user and chromeium is started on boot directly into kiosk mode in full screen.
I really appreciate you taking the time to provide the additional details. These kinds of bread crumbs help me a great deal in knowing where to look to continue learning from others and really helps to feed my enjoyment and continued education.
It’s like they shockingly didn’t think people would ever realize they didn’t need it.
Yeah I can live with having to turn on my bedroom lights manually. Certainly not paying 5 a month for that

Home Assistant?

The LCARs install docs are english.

There’s nothing special you need for a touch panel.
And setting up Kiosk mode in chromium is dirt simple.
