[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 547750, member: 250"] From what I can see on your photos, I would assume there are single direct 3core+E cables from each of the thermostats back to the wiring centre. These could be physically removed from the wiring centre and reconnected externally to a separate supply.. (e.g. via 5A fused 3pin plug).. Then where your old thermostats are you could fit a USB charger plate, , which is what I assume your tablet(s) would need to keep them powered? (may need a deeper back-box fitted?) e.g. quick google brought up something like this..
