Yes, using cheap Amazon tablets about 5-7 years ago. They never got used. It’s just more convenient to use the home assistant app on your phone or Siri.
I really like the idea of an in-wall home control panel - the guy who converted his whole house to illustrations & animations was awesome - but when I try to imagine situations where I'd really use it, I struggle. Definitely not going to get up from the couch and walk over to a control panel when I can just use the phone app, so it's got to be circumstances where I want to control something, while I'm in a specific place or can't easily use the phone. Maybe walking out the door, just to see if lights or whatnot are on (if I didn't have an automation linked to presence). Maybe in the kitchen, to fix music when my hands are too dirty for the phone, but voice control seems like a better solution there.
World is full of gadgets that seem cool, but then you get them home and it's just easier to do things the old way, and the gadget ends up being a techy Hummel figurine.
Yeah definitely a case by case situation of usefulness
