A thermostat includes a housing, a touch-sensitive display configured to display visual media and receive user inputs, and processing electronics configured to operate the touch-sensitive display. The housing includes a base and a display mount. The base includes a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall connecting the top wall to the bottom wall, a first side wall connecting the top wall to the bottom wall, and a second side wall connecting the top wall to the bottom wall. The top wall, the bottom wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall define an internal volume. The display mount is cantilevered away from the top wall and includes a mounting surface. The display is attached to the mounting surface. The processing electronics are positioned within the interior volume.

A panoramic optical device includes a quadric reflector, a mirror, and a set of one or more optical elements. The quadric reflector has a conical shape, which tapers from a wide base to an apex. The apex includes an aperture. The mirror is positioned within the device in a plane approximately parallel to a circular cross section of the conical shape. The mirror reflects environmental light that is reflected by the quadric reflector into the aperture or reflecting light emitting from the aperture onto the quadric reflector. The set of one or more optical elements are positioned at least partially within a volumetric region of the quadric reflector. The one or more optical elements focus light passing through the aperture.

A quadric reflector can have an approximately conical shape. The shape can tapers from a wide base to an apex. The apex can include an aperture, a mirror, and a set of one or more optical elements. A mirror can be positioned within an overhang enclosure of the device in a plane approximately parallel to a circular cross section of the conical shape. The mirror can reflect environmental light that is reflected by the quadric reflector into the aperture or reflect light emitting from the aperture onto the quadric reflector. The overhang enclosure can have a substantially conical shape which eliminates secondary reflection resulting from the environmental light reaching the aperture twice. Using the overhang enclosure to absorb the secondary reflection eliminates or minimizes banding.

A transparent metal mesh is used as an antenna element and is disposed over a graphical display so that the graphical display can be seen through the transparent metal mesh. A radio circuit is coupled to the metal mesh to receive radio signals using the transparent metal mesh. In some embodiments the radio circuit can also transmit signals using the transparent metal mesh as an antenna.
