Here's the final product using my Mini PC and Beetronics Panels. It's nice controlling them all with Teamviewer from my office. I just paid a regular picture frame shop to make the frames, then I used small round magnets on the frame to hold them in place

Those are huge panels. Very nice!

I have smaller ones, those are the two big ones in the house. You know with the nest camera plugins they just keep crashing the android tablets. Easier to maintain with windows and teamviewer so far.

Love this! I'm trying to do something similar but unable to execute commands to my SoundTouch device. How did you implement next, pause, play etc.?

There is a SoundTouch driver, do you have that?
This is the one.

You could add virtual buttons and rules etc to control them?

The integration on HA is a little better, and also have a Spotify add on. So this is why I went that way to control them :+1:

very nice. I just got the "ok" from the wife to upgrade our main tablet in the kitchen with a larger screen. I'm planning to do 36" TV with IR touch overlay. was just told not allowed to order anything till after holiday lol

that's interesting never considered that, there's a few I checked out with horrible reviews.. let me know which one you end up using

General Dashboard Question:
Is it possible to have a dashboard showing what devices are on? A smart tile?
Something that can be looked at-a-glance?

I assume you are looking for a dashboard or tile where only devices that are on are displayed, and devices that are off do not appear on the dashboard or tile?

That sounds impossible, but yes!
I would even take a tile that is only populated if devices are on (if not on, the tile would still be there)
Possible?

I wouldn't go this route. The TV and the touch screen will be very thick and they don't work consistently.
You can get a much better touchscreen Monitor for similar price.

Goto Template settings in Dashboard for a Switch Tile. Then for the Off, make the color selection for both foreground and background 100% transparent. Color won't matter. Then the tile is only visible if on. You will have blank slots in dashboard. The lights that are on won't fill in.

@stephen_nutt is being bashful, so I had to go back about 400 post to find his handy work. @cuirbear not only CAN it be done, it has :clap:

That's awesome!
Okay, so I start with the instructions i was just given, and then...
Any tips for making this work?

Started this...

  1. How do you get half height tiles? Smartly?
  2. When mine is off, still see remnants of the switches

    I know how to remove the 3 dots, but not sure about the rest

Go to Settings|Advanced|CSS and enter height:50%; for the tile you want to adjust; i.e.

#tile-52 {
          height:50%;
}

Thanks for that.
Now how do I get it to work?
I am assuming Tile ID would be the number of the tile?

If you click on the 3 little buttons on a tile it will give you a dialog with the tile ID number on it, that’s what you’ll need for an individual tile. Can also effect all tiles by styling the .tile class. Clicking on the dashboard Cog in the upper right corner will get you the Settings menu
