Dashboard¶
The Dashboard is your personalized home screen -- a customizable grid of widgets showing the information and controls you care about most.
Overview¶
Unlike the Home view (which is organized by zones), the Dashboard lets you pick exactly what you want to see, regardless of room or equipment type. You might put your living room lights next to your outdoor temperature and your garage gate, all on one screen.
Widget types¶
Equipment widget¶
Displays a single equipment with its current state and quick controls.
- Lights: toggle switch, brightness slider (for dimmable lights)
- Shutters: position display with open/close controls
- Sensors: current values with appropriate icons and units
- Thermostats: temperature display with mode indicator
- Switches: on/off state badge
Zone widget¶
Displays aggregated data for an entire zone. You choose which family of data to show:
| Family | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Lights | Number of lights on / total, with a quick "all off" action |
| Shutters | Number of shutters open / total, average position |
| Heating | Average temperature, heating status |
| Sensors | Temperature, humidity, motion status |
Zone widgets give you a quick overview of an entire room without seeing individual equipment details.
Adding widgets¶
- Enter edit mode by clicking the pencil icon in the top-right corner of the Dashboard
- Click the + button that appears
- In the modal, choose between:
- Equipment -- browse and select any equipment
- Zone -- select a zone and a data family
The widget appears at the end of your grid.
Customizing widgets¶
Reordering¶
In edit mode, drag and drop widgets to rearrange them. The order is saved automatically.
Custom labels and icons¶
Each widget can have a custom label and icon that override the default equipment or zone name. This is useful when you want shorter names on the dashboard.
Sensor widget configuration¶
For sensor equipment widgets, you can choose which data bindings to display. By default, all bindings are shown. If a sensor reports temperature, humidity, and pressure but you only care about temperature, you can hide the others.
Removing widgets¶
In edit mode, click the delete button on any widget to remove it from the dashboard.
Edit mode¶
Edit mode is toggled with the pencil icon in the dashboard header. When active:
- A + button appears to add new widgets
- Each widget shows a delete button
- Widgets can be dragged to reorder
- Click the checkmark to exit edit mode and save
Tip
The dashboard is personal -- each user has their own widget layout. Admin and regular users see their own dashboards.
Tips¶
- Keep it focused: The dashboard works best with 6--12 widgets. Too many widgets reduce the at-a-glance value.
- Use zone widgets for overview: A zone "Sensors" widget for each floor gives you whole-house temperature at a glance.
- Use equipment widgets for control: Put your most-used lights and shutters on the dashboard for one-tap access.
- Mobile-friendly: On mobile, widgets stack in a single column. Put your most important widgets at the top.
