Anyone already try new Unifi Connect Display?

Hi folks, maybe someone have UC-Display (Connect Display - Ubiquiti Store United States) on hand?
Really like ideas of POE powered touchscreen.
This one bit expensive, but maybe it will be cheaper after few months.

POE ++ power.
21,5 " touchscreen
Android apps.

It’s $699 now, but it still cheaper than iPad plus inwall system with poe. And bigger.

I hope it will be main control center for my automated home.

Hi … Will hopefully soon get my new House and will also attempt to buy this Display. Normally IT should Work Well with Home assistant… i guess it is destected with Home assistant protect Integration and might have some controlls also. So fingers crossed that the Prise will fall … i plan at least buying two of them

I waiting for smaller sizes… 21.5 it’s… a lot.
It’s good for main control but to expensive and big to install it somewhere middle of house, near doors, bedrooms…
Crestron make funny android tablet with POE… expensive too.

I am doing a little construction project to rebuild my home office space and decided to bite the bullet to try the Connect display. The good news, it works great! The bad news is that now I want to install a few more. :money_mouth_face:

It was super easy to download the HA .apk file and upload it via the Connect controller. Within a few minutes, HA was up and running.

The screen pulls around 17W, far better than the old Surface tablet I’ve been using.

I would have preferred installing the display horizontally, but I didn’t have enough room in the wall between the studs. The vertical alternative worked just as well.

I’ll post more pictures once I get everything buttoned up and finished.

Now, if there was just an HA integration with the Connect controller to toggle scenes on the display from the HA side.

I forgot to post the finished Connect display install photos.

It works great as an HA dashboard! In the photos, I’ve got a Grafana environmental dashboard displayed using Airthings sensors.

Is there anything cheaper with POE and maybe like a 10 inch size?

Crestron. I bought few Poe powered devices for 10-20$ each. Link: Crestron TSW 1060. POE HA dash for $30. Firmware
