I’m looking for advice on setting up kiosks for a smart home.
I’d like to have 2-3 touch screens setup to control devices from.
I’ve decided on the following:
- preferably plug in devices/screens (with no battery)
- e-ink screens would be preferable but not a must
- cost is a factor
Anyone had success in setting up something similar?


I have a RPi that I got back when they were cheap paired with a 7in touch screen mounted in a 3d printed cage on the wall. It’s used multiple times daily by the family for light controls mainly, but there’s definitely more that I could be doing with it
Which rpi and screen if I may ask?
I think it’s a Pi 4, if not then it’s my Pi 5. Here’s the screen I bought: Hosyond7 Inch Touchscreen
