In wall touchscreen
The in-wall touchscreen is a fairly easy setup, using an Raspberry pi 3+ with POE+ shield.
Installation
A hole was created in the wall during room renovations. This hole was measured to be the size of an 7 inch raspberry pi touchscreen, which is held in place using 2 strong neodymium magnets. Power is provided over POE+ from a Ubiquiti POE switch.
Switches
As last the wall switch covers where 3D printed. They used to be white, which didn't look nice after painting the wall black. Buying new black covers without the internal mechanics, was apparently not possible. Meaning I was forced to ether spend 200 euro on new switches, or less than 5 euro on PLA… This decision was fairly easy to make…
Software
The front-end software is created using Python3-kivy, which supports GPU acceleration on the raspberry pi platform. The fronted on this Raspberry-pi sends all API requests over the local network, to another raspberry-pi that's used as XnorDuino gateway with XnorDuino Master connected to it.
