Ya know, that sounds most interesting.
Can you elaborate?
What tablet? What can it control?
thanx.
I went from android tablets, to x86 tablets. x86 is the clear winner but the really cheap android tablets aren't the worst either
In general, the majority of my touch interface is based around Home Assistant. Eventually I may write my own frontend for it entirely instead of relying on Lovelace (Home Assistant's UI) but in general HA is the easiest way I've found to deal with tons of different IoT devices, software, media hardware, etc.
Home Assistant handles lighting , system automation, and media playback control (including audio track / sub selection, control of MadVR, DSP profiles etc). I use a custom frontend for my film and television library, and another piece of software handles music libraries. So to make the experience seamless, I have these setup as tabs in addition to the main control interface, with some logic for trying to make switching between them for activities and stuff smarter.
https://www.home-assistant.ioI have a tablet in most rooms on the wall for lighting / general things, on the couches and at my desk. I wrap the entire web 'frontend' into an application with Nativefier (super easy, and cross platform). So you lock everything else out, have the tablets boot up to the application and just kill the screen (or turn off the backlight) after 5 seconds without touch input. When a user touches the screen, it turns back on without any delay.
