There are many conceivable ways to map 28edo onto the onto the Lumatone keyboard. However, it has 4 mutually-exclusive rings of fifths, so the Standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean is not one of them.
Whitewood
The Whitewood mapping is perhaps the most diatonic-like mapping that covers all notes.

Würschmidt
Since the 5th harmonic is easily the best tuned interval, the Würschmidt mapping is a good way to maximise your range (a bit over eight octaves, nearly level) and make consonant chords easy to reach.

Bryan Deister's layout (Machine)
Bryan Deister has used a layout for 28edo that was inspired by the layout for 29edo (rather than being made for any specific temperament), as demonstrated in minuet in 28edo (2025). The right-moving generator is a somewhat sharp Pythagorean whole tone (~9/8, or near-just 17/15, 5\28). The up-moving generator is an almost-just tridecimal supraminor second (~14/13, 3\28). The range is a bit over five octaves, with octaves alternating near/far and middle with an overall small upwards slant. Although this layout was not designed for any particular temperament, it so happens that the right-moving generator matches Machine.
