Two of them are FireHD 10's and one is an 8". They mainly get used to control
the alarm. Eventually will also display my cameras as well whenever I get
around to re-installing them. We sold our house and moved to a different town
last December and there's been so much to do here (house was built 140ish
years ago) and that's one of many things I haven't gotten to yet.

I don't mind either way but started getting into smart home stuff 23 years ago
and like BBSing, it's one of those things that I like to constantly tinker
with. 

The tablets are mainly just a tool I use for the alarm, cameras (soon lol) and
motion detection. Control over the house is all done via voice or is automated
based on whatever is going on (time of day, location, weather, etc.)
