Specific requirements for control panels

So I understand this sounds like a FAQ but after googling for multiple days I am not really all that much wiser.

In general, I want to add a few (probably 3-4) control panels across the apartment (wall mounted or standing on a table) but I am having the hardest time to figure how to do it.

Requirements

  1. Decent 7-10" touch screen (capacitive, reasonable viewing angles)
  2. Decent WAF: meaning flat devices (less than 2cm thick) and since my apartment uses Enocean switches, I can’t use light switch boxes so NSPanel and friends are out
  3. No risk of spicy pillows (ideally no batteries at all, although I would make an exception for easily swapped 18650 or similar, that kills most tablets)
  4. No unmaintained firmware on the LAN (kills most/all Android devices)
  5. No soldering / 3d printing (so the hardware needs to be done) but fine with flashing stuff
  6. Reasonable power consumption

And while I would love to simply run the dashboard in a webbrowser on a standard linux distro, it seems to me that this probably means I will end up with ESP32 displays unless someone can point me to a decent looking screen that can hide an SBC (possibly something that can act as both a screen and CM4 carrier board?) without going insanely thick or super expensive.

Once we go to ESP32 displays the next issue seems to be that with the possible exception of Elecrow (which are a bit short on flash), they all lack cases?!?

So does anybody have a goofd pointer to something I am missing?

In general you are limited in overall options you have layed out.

Your overall best option is to go this route.

You can use a third party service for 3d printing orders if you are not able to do things in house or try and find an enclosure that fits the needs.

Thanks.

Seeing that Samsung now commits for 4 years of updates on the Tab A9, I am currently leaning towards that. Much less trouble… Then again, I still want to see the voice assistant first, maybe that obsoletes control panels anyhow.
