8inch smart home controller

An 8‑inch smart home controller is a wall-mounted touchscreen device—typically with an 8″ capacitive LCD—that serves as a centralized hub to manage smart home devices like lights, curtains, thermostats, cameras, and scenes. Many models integrate Zigbee (or sometimes Wi‑Fi + Bluetooth) to act as their own gateway and run on Android (often Android 8.1 or 11)  .

Features

8″ IPS touchscreen (800 × 1280 resolution) for intuitive interface and scene control.

Rotary knob + small secondary display (on many models) for secondary controls like dimming lights or adjusting temperature  .

Zigbee gateway functionality, enabling direct control of devices without separate hubs (e.g. Tuya ecosystem)  .

Sensors built-in, such as light, proximity, temperature and humidity sensors, plus microphone and speaker for voice interaction and alarms  .

Android-based operating system (Android 8.1 or 11) with typically 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage, enabling installation of additional apps or kiosk-mode dashboards  .

Power and mounting: Designed for in‑wall installation; works with standard wall-boxes (Asian/EU/US versions) and powered from AC mains or PoE  .

Use Cases

Central control panel for smart devices and scene automation (lights, AC, curtains, etc.).

Display clock, calendar, weather, alerts, or custom dashboards.

Works with smart assistants (in some devices) or can be integrated with platforms like Home Assistant by switching to local Android apps or kiosk interfaces  .
