ZIPATILE looks pretty Awesome!

Would be great to control Homey from this wall panel. It's running on Android.

Or the modular Zipato would have IR and Bluetooth.
For me this comes very close to what I see as the perfect interface to have on my wall. I really hope that Athom will come with something similar. If not I hope it will be open and supportive enough to create something with the community.
It is very configurable and can probably do what the mentioned app can do.
He developed this as a user.
Is there a developer on this forum who can do the same for Homey?

A French gentlemen developed MyVera.
You will be able to place lights, thermostats, curtains, temperatures etc on a floorplan of your house. Also a user. Who will pick up the challenge?

I tried HomeWave and it just hurt my eyes. It's too bloody ugly. It also takes quite some tinkering with the app before you have these screens built. Not very intuitive. Definitely *not* for the end user, IMHO.
About the Zipalite: yes and no. It's a nice idea, but it's expensive and it can only do so much. I don't know, seems too limited to me. I would've rather have a screen that's more configurable I guess. In other words: no, it doesn't blow me away, yet. But that might change .
So far, from my experience, I want my home automation to just work. Interaction as limited as possible. By using sensors and smart flows, most should go automatically. What attracts me in Homey is the addition of speech, which could be very natural, and the flow editor and the fact they (will) support so many different standards. Integration is key.
If you look at the zipatile also all the added sensors and functionality looks great. Would be great if you could link this to a Homey.
indeed it will cost some time but thats the consequence of configuration "voor elk wat wils"
I did not mention Homewave and MyVera for someones opinion of the looks, but to challenge a developper to build something with the same possibilities for Homey.
I encurage it to be configurable since every user will have a personal vision of the perfect display and not nesseceary like a system that is preconfigured.
I would like a personalized display on the wall in my living room with all sensor and actor data from my house and I believe I'm not the only one. Not for nothing Toon is gaining popularity however a standard view so someone may not like it. Unfortunately I do not have the competencies to program something like this but have no objection to personalisation.
The ZipaTile looks usefull to me as an additional user interface. In that case it has to run besides my primary controller. Looking at the amount of virtual devices I currently use, I doubt I will be able to control them from a Zipatile. And with a new Homey on the way.... It's better to wait for now. But it sure does look good.. even if its not a very big display.
I'm looking for something like this because my house is pretty modern looking and I want a sleek designed touchpanel.
Or can someone suggest me an other product?
@Petergroeneweg will you make an app so we all can benefit?
Can we see a preview?
Last amendment was over a year ago.
Still feel the homey interface is a not finished, and the homey dash app has almost no progress.
athom themselves is working on dashboards, see a few status updates ago (april 28th) and also 2 more updates above it.
the biggest wait right now for most outside developers to create dashboard support for homey, is the homey "API key", which will make it saver and easier to create dashboards/support for homey.
So would appreciate some work on this, at the moment even thinking of switching to a zipatile.
