Just wrapped up mounting my Nexus on the wall for HSTouch. Pretty stoked at how it turned out. Thought I'd post here to hopefully give some folks some inspiration on their own projects.

We need more details!
If I need to turn on the screen of the nexus manually, I can simply double tap the screen and it turns on (this is built into Android). But, its rare that I need to because I'm using an app called "Motion Detector" that turns on the screen when it detects motion.

For my next one I'm planning to do on the main floor, I'm going to run a sunken outlet with a retrofit single gang box and use a USB plug behind it

I'm using a 90 degree micro usb plug I got off of Amazon and it just runs thru a tiny hole on the drywall. The other side of this wall is an unfinished mechanical room. It just simply plugs into an outlet there.

Quite daunting when you think of all the possibilities you can wire for but I like the idea of using a couple tablets as user interfaces but the mounting solutions are slim unless you go iPad... Which I won't.
Main thing is making the whole solution wife friendly...haha... Happy wife happy life.
