Device role
Control Panel
A control panel is a wall-mounted touchscreen that runs dashboards and scenes from a fixed spot. It gives a room a permanent, app-free way to see and control the home.
A control panel is a powered, in-wall or surface-mounted display that shows a Home Assistant dashboard and drives lights, climate, media, and scenes by touch. Unlike a battery remote, it stays in one place and presents live state, so a room gets a permanent interface that does not depend on anyone’s phone.
How Selora AI uses control panels
- Room dashboards that surface the lights, climate, and scenes that matter in that space.
- Scene control so occupants run routines by touch without opening an app.
- At-a-glance state that shows temperature, occupancy, and device status on the wall.
Why people still want control panels
A fixed panel gives every occupant and guest the same reliable interface, no app install or account needed. For installers it is the visible centerpiece of a system, and it keeps control of the home anchored to the room it serves.
