Hey everyone,
First of all I am totally new to Home Assistant! I have joined last month and it has totally changed my life! So many ideas that i had for so long! but never knew how to make them!
So here is my first take on making my Dream!
DISCLAIMER! - I am a Below Noob on Hardware and Software! So please all the Genius out there please do not bash me
So totally frustrated with my Z-wave buttons that I cant make them to work since last 2 weeks, i took advantage of the Fully Kiosk aproach and started to think… wow wouldnt it be cool to have my Own RGBW wall switch? I tried looking for some on the market and they were expensive! So ive created this one that costed me around 80 Euros. expensive i know but I am proud of this Creation!
In Term of design… I wanted to have the Homekit buttons that @jimz011 created but… still dont know how to create that… but ill get there someday!
So i grab my old Rasberry Pi 3b and bought a 4inch screen and mounted rasberian in it and used the chromium-browser kiosk mode! and voila!
ive enabled ssh, and so when I install this on my wall, I will be able to access it to make modifications if needed.
The monitor stays on the screen and will go blank (after 30 seconds) and the only way to stop exit the kiosk mode is by an imput that ive created.
now all i need is someone to make me a 3d print of these wall covers and Voila!
ive created a user specifically for this view, and so we can login with that user name and so he can only view what we have assigned and so it was easier as well to go directly to this page without anything else in it! .
Hope you enjoy and the tech savy probably will invent something even better!
