Using a wall mounted display with Homey

Questions & Help
1

Hi all,

I’m seeing some interesting posts on using a display or tablet with Homey, however what surprises me is that there does not seem to be any native integration to wall mounted displays such as NS Panel Pro or a Shelly screen. Maybe I’m missing something here, but I would guess that more people would like to control their Home automation system from a wall mounted screen.

Any tips, advice, did I miss something?

Regards,

Rene, Netherlands

You’re correct. As of now it’s either through iOS or Android.

I’ve read people did manage to sideload the Homey app to the NS Pro…

@Doekse reageerde in een Duits topic dat ze bezig zijn met Shelly om te zien wat er mogelijk is! Daar wacht ik ook met smart op, toch een mooiere oplossing dan vogelen met een reguliere tablet aan de muur…

There are Android screens/tablets that can be wall mounted and have PoE which, in my opinion, is better than hiding the power brick in the wall.

This one is basically the same as Shelly Display, 4” and pretty low 480x480 resolution https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008710846942.html

This at 5.5” and 1280x800 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010250467216.html

This at 8” and also 1280x800 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010250467216.html

The reason I’m not using one of the above is the poor screen resolution and outdated Android version.

There are better ones with Android 15 and 1920x1200 resolution like this one https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/10-1-Inch-Flush-Wall-Mounted_1601431964324.html but they are $200 US and the minimum order quantity is 2. I’m not prepared to risk $400 US (+shipping and customs) to possibly end up disappointed.
