    Choose a display type

    Pick a Number card, Gauge, Line/Bar chart, LED indicator, Device status, Alert list or Map — whatever suits the reading.

    Bind a device and metric

    Select the device and the metric to show (e.g. temperature). For gauges you can set a min and max. Give the widget a title and add it.

    Arrange your dashboard

    Add as many widgets as you like — they tile into a responsive grid and refresh automatically. Remove one with the trash icon on its card.
