Generally speaking, I use the app.
I do, however, have miscellaneous tablets that are in rooms to show information and have a designated account just for that room’s controls. I also have a wall-mounted touch panel that was from a pro control system that I picked up cheap that I rooted and set HA to open at boot, but I don’t recommend this route unless you happen to get/see one cheap and know exactly what can/can’t be done with it.

Thanks! Can I ask briefly what can’t be done with it?

With my particular unit? Its not going to get any updates ever, the only way to install is over ADB, and changing the running app requires script changes and a reboot (or changing things to allow the on-screen navigation buttons, but that comes with other annoyances).
So sdk version isn’t changing, which is a potential compatibility issue going forward.
