Hi - Am I the last one to realize that a Kindle Fire, makes an excellent touch-panel control for Powerhome? You simply use the Silk browser to browse to your exported, custom designed control center screen. Awesome!

And with Kindle Fire being $40 on sale (or $33 on Amazon day) it's cheaper than, well, anything else :-}
(now if I could find a wall-mount for <$10).

I've got a couple Raspberry PI powered touchscreens that do
almost the same, but if you made a nice wall mount for it, you
could have the same idea **AND** have a wireless remote. Plus
it's a Sonos controller! (which, incidentally, is possible but
not super easy to do from an Insteon keypad)
