Touchscreen remote for HA

marton · February 11, 2020, 5:24pm

@ralfaro We made a guide on how to do it: https://github.com/YIO-Remote/documentation/wiki/development

But if you want to try it on your computer, it’s quite easy:

Install Qt Creator
Clone these repos: remote-software, integrations.library and integration.home-assistant if you’d like to use it with home assistant.
Build the integration.home-assistant project first, then build the remote-software project and run it.

There’s an example config.json on github, you can use that and modify it according to your needs.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Completely missed the Kickstarter. Are planning to sell the kits later?

marton · April 27, 2020, 8:39am

There might be some kits left, after all the rewards are sent out, but I will only know after I shipped everything.

Same here, unfortunately only came to know about your project this week. It looks amazing.
How would I get to know if you have any kits left? I’d certainly be interested as well.

Hey @Heijt771, thank you There are some kits left, that I’ll soon make available. I’ll post about it on the YIO forum and chat.

I’ve started a project a few month ago. Take a look: Dashzero - Custom Home-Assistant UI made for Raspberry Pi Zero

Looking good!

The remaining kits are up in a temporary store:

Any chance to see it on sale again?

marton · September 25, 2020, 12:19pm

Thanks! I have only bits and pieces left at the moment.

Can this be used on a standard 7" raspberry pi touchscreen as well?

This looks really clean!!

tom_l · November 11, 2020, 4:28am

Yes there is wall panel version development ongoing, see below for link.

Hello,
Unfortunately I only discovered this thread today and I am very enthusiastic about the remote control.
Unfortunately I missed the Kickstarter campaign.
Are there still kits to buy somewhere or somehow?

tom_l · January 28, 2021, 3:10pm

Follow the link above and have a read through the general channel.

Short answer: not yet.

Long answer: the build files (PCB, schematic, bill of materials, enclosure design, etc…) will eventually be put up on GitHub if you want to DIY.

Also the latest from Marton (the project leader/designer/developer), in November last year:

We had 2 rounds of kits made after the kickstarter but unfortunately there are none left. We are looking into getting more made, but we want to do it in a more sustainable way, so it will take a bit of time

So you will be able to buy one eventually, just not right now.

Time scale?

Not available, just be patient.

marton · January 28, 2021, 8:18pm

Thanks @tom_l for the sum up! It is exactly how you wrote.

I’m trying to figure out ways to make it a bit more sustainable and fix some things in the design as well. When I have something, I’ll let everyone know about it.

Still doing this next to work, so bear with me please
