Do affordable programable displays like these actually exist?  Personally
I'd like to find a simple cheap display that would fit niceley into a
single, possibly double sized UK blanking plate.

I finally managed to install my Lutron Graphic Eye light switch in the
lounge, which is fantastic.  But next to it I have the old light switch
covered with a blanking plate.  I'd always intended to put some sort of
display there, but haven't found anything suitable.  SWMBO is suggesting I
fill/plaster over the whole, so I need do something quick.  Hell even if I
could find a little display that just showed the temperature in the room and
could fit it niceley into a single face plate that would be good.

Any URLs?

I think a proper graphical LCD screen would be way OTT, and probably too
expensive to have in several rooms.  The size of the display I think is
important, it should be subtle.  We might have a lot of info to display but
if its too big it could be distracting, when not in use.  I'd like a couple
of buttons on the display for control as well.

A couple of years ago I really liked the keypads that came with B&W's Casa
system
(http://www.bwspeakers.com/products/gallery/photo_details.cfm?object_id=A163
38B3-3321-11D4-A67F00D0B7473B37), but the cost of the whole system and its
reliance on other B&W kit put me off.
