In wall LCD Switch/Scene controller for MySensors

[Pierre P]

Thanks for the fast answer, I was thinking that you haven't used the "big" HLK. But, it seem it's there !
Sorry !

Is it possible to do something similar with the smaller LCDs? Like the 2x16 ones?

@Tore-André-Rosander it wouldn't fit inside an electric box it's way wider than a 1.8'' LCD...

@Tore-André-Rosander anything is possible in diy 😉 you need to find out if everything fits inside the wall and then find a good case.

So I'm trying to figure out your set up. Obviously you have other sensors, but is this your controller? Gateway? What type of network did you use? I'm trying to learn how to use the MySensors Library and your project has me intrigued. I'm wanting to control various slaves that make use of digital potentiometers.

@Danton-Barnes - hi!
I suggest you read https://www.mysensors.org/about and the tutorial.
I have a controller (Domoticz) and a gateway - this is standard for MySensors and if you read above you figure it out.
The LCD screen works like any sensor / Node.
Let me know if there is any more questions.

Hi @sundberg84,

thanks for your nice work! I'm currently searching for a similar project but with a touchscreen implementation:).
Do you plan this in the near future?
Or do you know similar touch projects from other sources?

@artipi - Hi, nope not at the moment but if you search the forum there is some projects/authors working with touchscreens.
