The reason I still use my Prontos for A/V control is I can do it by feel alone. I can have the pronto under the covers and do all my common functions without ever looking at it. The Home Automation sysytem has in wall iPads. They really are in-wall with just a bezel showing. Whats nice about the units (Dockx makes them) is that the part that goes in the wall is thinner than the thickness of stanard wall board used for walls in the US. Therefore where studs are really does not matter.
