What if you could control your lights, music, and other Home Assistant things from a panel on your wall? Do you run tech at your church and need the ability to deliver controls in a way, in a location, and with a budget that's approachable for everyone? This week, Thomas Kvamme from Orbit Panels joins Noah and Steve to discuss his new in wall PoE control panels based on the Raspberry Pi, Streamdeck, and Bitfocus Companion!
