    Touch Screen Control Center

    I am wanting to pick some peoples brains. I want to have a touch screen monitor in the kitchen that looks over everything. Cameras, lights, scenes, weather, music, plex media center, etc. I was thinking like:
    -Touch Screen monitor of some sort like tablet or home made lcd touch screen
    -Windows 10 os or i prefer or thinking booting off a raspberry pi and installing an insteon app on it that boots up

    i saw this online thats close to what i want-

    any one have good ideas that would work for obviously a cheaper route? I would like a frontend that pulls everything together as one so it looks very smooth.

    The first device you linked to is a Windows tablet, so you can use any software and/or hardware that's Windows compatible. I do everything you requested using Insteon and Z-Wave devices plus IP cameras plus an ISY plus an Amazon Echo.

    There is no indication about what the second device is although the switch to the left gives a cue.

    The third link requires a Raspberry Pi. If you have programming skills, then you're virtually unrestricted in what you can control.
    Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018. Stu was a huge fan of Insteon and a huge presence on both the Smarthome and Insteon forums, helping thousands of us along the way (he had nearly 20,000 posts to his name). We thank him for his contributions, dedication, and passion for making the Smart Home a reality. He will truly be missed.

      You could look at an App called iRule which will do most of what you require? Sorry, only for Apple and Android though. You would need an ISY rather than the Hub. Will interface to multiple Vendors equipment, but you have to build the interface by Drag & Drop etc
