Home Assistant Control Panel For My Wall

I built a physical control panel for Home Assistant that features buttons, LEDs, and a touch screen. It's powered by two Raspberry Pi 3B+ boards and uses power over Ethernet. The panel monitors and controls lights, switches, electricity, water usage and more using the Home Assistant API. In this video you can see what it does, how it works and how it was built, along with an explanation of the software. All of the parts are readily available and the major ones are listed below in case you want to build a similar panel too!
