As someone with a lot of smart devices in their home, I'd love a large screen to control them, but my hate for Meta and Apple is too much
There are actually a lot of devices that work this way and several of them can even be installed in the wall where a two or three gang switch box would be. Most run some flavor of android or an embedded os and cost ~$200-300. So like $700 cheaper than what Apple wants to do for something that takes up counter space.
Brilliant and Tuya both make them as well among better brands.
I have the Brilliant one plumbed into my HomeKit via a zigbee bridge and it’s perfect
But wouldn't you want to have screens in multiple rooms? Because $1000 seems too expensive for that use case
