Started building out my home control panels. I'm using android tablets. I am wall mounted them using magnets. I'm waiting for my qi receivers to finish the installs. I have one built out just waiting for the receiver. I plan on running day frame on it to show photos while mounted. This app allows you to tap the time and weather info to launch another app. I tap the time to launch the almond app, and I can tap the weather to launch the wave app. I plan on using wave as an intercom system. I also have my ip cam software installed so I can view those from the same spot. The tablets pull right off the wall but are solidly held in place. I decided to mount everything in a blank wall plate to make it easier and cleaner looking. Would obviously be nicer with bigger / better quality android tablets but each panel is costing me very little to provide a lot of function. I may pick up a larger one in the future. As a side note, I will be running an android tablet as an androidvr separately to record for my ip cameras that are not linked to my hard wired dvr. This provides a small battery backup, some of my cameras are on backup as well, and is discrete enough to be able to hide and let's me add as much, or little, storage space as I'd like.
