Dashboards in the HUB

​

What you can build

• KPI walls — large readouts and trends for supervisors
• Line and area overviews — at-a-glance status for a process or zone
• Machine detail — gauges, indicators, and controls for a single asset
• Operator stations — buttons, toggles, and setpoints where people work the process
• Shift and mobile views — simplified layouts for tablets and shared screens

​

Your first panel in 60 seconds

• In the Dashboard Manager
• Ask the AI Assistant

Open Dashboards in the HUB, click Create new panel, and write the definition below. The panel renders live as you save — point a gauge at a topic and the needle starts moving:

DEFINE PANEL SensorMonitor
WITH VISIBILITY PUBLIC
WITH STATE PUBLISHED
WITH TITLE "Sensor Monitor"
WITH LAYOUT "grid" COLUMNS 2

    ADD COMPONENT "TempGauge" WITH TYPE "gauge"
        SET RANGE FROM 0 TO 100
        SET UNIT "°C"
        BIND VALUE TO TOPIC "sensor/temperature"

Every part of a definition is covered step by step in Defining a Panel.

Describe what you want in plain language:

“Build me a panel with a radial temperature gauge on sensor/temperature, range 0–100 °C, with a warning threshold at 75.”

The assistant creates the panel for you. Open it in the Dashboard Manager to see the definition it wrote — and adjust anything directly. See AI Assistant.

What dashboards can do

• Live bindings — bind to MQTT topics, LoT Model fields, or database queries; widgets update the moment values change. See Data Binding.
• Interactive controls — buttons and entry fields that publish commands, invoke Actions, and trigger Connectors. See Actions & Events.
• Multi-page navigation — buttons and cards that jump between panels with NAVIGATE, for overview-to-detail drill-downs. See Defining a Panel.
• Share on any screen — a panel URL runs full-screen on wall TVs, tablets, and kiosks, no app install. See Dashboards in the HUB.
