I know and I agree. I can control my home automation with my phone, that's not the issue.
It's just that I already bought this screen several years ago (before being able to control it with my phone), with the intention of implementing it into my living room. Even cut a hole in the wall especially for it. It's been 5 years now, and I would really like to start using it. smile
