This is a steal. Considering that 7″ touch screens go for double this (as they are targetted primarily at the automotive market), its even more so. You can get drivers for this devices at this site. Do note that the MacTel drivers are in beta, and only work on 10.4.7 OSX, not on 10.4.8 or 10.4.6. I had to do some digging on Apple.com to find it.
So what do you do with a 15″ touch screen, a Mac Mini, Indigo Home Automation software, Google Sketchup and Insteon devices as wall switches?
Simple, what all geeks should do: make a control panel for your home.
Right now its controlling lights. Soon, it will also use IRTRans to control the stereo, and also control the Sonos. Oh, and control iTunes if necessary. And also display any pertinent information, like missed calls.
I can’t think of anything else it should do. Any ideas? We are wall mounting it on the wall between the two entrances to our house (the door form the garage and the front door).
