Recommendations for panels like the Brilliant control panel

There was just a review of this device on Ars (I already lost the link) but it made a good point... do you really want a tablet mounted at switch height? Switches, in the US anyway, are usually around 4ft. That's pretty low for a touch screen device if you're around 6ft tall. I thought about it and realized any touch screen devices I have are mounted ABOVE my light switches. It made me think, while this is a cool device, would it actually be convenient to use a touch screen that I had to hunch over to use?

Totally agree. The Wink relay got around that by having the screen at an inclination.

You know I always thought that looked stupid and wondered why they did that but it makes sense now that you say it.
