Hi @wb666greene,
Indeed with such a setup you can run Node-RED locally on the device, and show the dashboard of that particular room. But somewhere above in this long discussion, you will see that I also have already such a setup to experiment. However I cannot use it in my rooms because:
- It becomes rather expensive (RPI3 + SD card + touch screen + wall mount case)
- The case requires a quite big hole in the wall to hide the RPI. However I don't want to create holes in my walls, so I was looking for a thin on-wall mounted solution.
So therefore my 'personal' setup will become most probably Fire 7 tablets. I only need to find a solution to have an affordable case, with a temperature/humidity sensor inside (which is readable somehow via wifi).
