Just for reference for anyone looking for a suitable Android tablet to use
as a home automation interface.

=20

I recently got a Lenovo A5500 tablet that was on a deal for $112 (=A371)
an=
d
it works great for the Homeseer Touch and Wemo interface I wanted to use it
for.

=20

The best part is the battery life. I charged it fully on Monday when I got
it and it is used every day for various lighting control and now on
Thursda=
y
afternoon it still has 75%. I have it setup so that WiFi is always on and
Homeseer Touch always connected.

Not sure what price you can find it around where you might be, but if you
see this on a bargain, grab it. I am tempted to get another one for bedside
use.

PS.. I am not using the GSM and don't have a SIM installed so it might
account for the good battery life. I'll test this later.
