Dashboards

IoT Dashboard Software for Live Sensor Monitoring

Build an IoT dashboard around the decisions you need to make: check the latest reading, inspect its history and send a supported device command. Configure reusable widgets instead of assembling a separate tool for every visual variation.

Real-time data

An IoT monitoring dashboard that never asks you to refresh

An open dashboard receives new readings through a persistent connection without a page reload. Update timing depends on the sensor reporting interval, network delivery and platform processing; it is not a guarantee of continuous measurement or zero latency.

The Live Data indicator in the dashboard header confirms the stream is on. And integrators building external screens can consume the same live feed over SSE and WebSocket.

  • New readings appear without a page reload
  • Live Data indicator in every dashboard header
  • SSE and WebSocket streams for your own integrations

Three useful jobs for your first IoT dashboard

See the latest sensor reading

Choose a device and metric in Last Data, then configure the appearance and threshold conditions. One reusable widget covers values, gauges and other display styles.

Explain a change with a sensor chart

Use a Chart widget to inspect received history and add threshold bands. Compare the latest value with the trend before deciding what needs attention.

Send a supported device command

Place a Control widget beside the reading. Bind its action to a command exposed by the device model, then check the device response using its supported feedback.

The widget suite

IoT dashboard widgets: configure the view your task needs

Every dashboard is assembled from widgets — connect them to any device, style them, and give each number its operational meaning.

01

Last Data

The latest reading, styled to fit: plain value, doughnut, pie, tube, gauge, or radial gauge — several sensors in one tile.

02

Chart

History as a line or bars with the live reading on top, threshold bands drawn on the graph, and an optional average line.

03

Map

A GPS-reporting asset on a live outdoor map, one metric on the marker — plus route history for any date range.

04

Image

Pin live readings onto any floor plan, schematic, or site photo — every value sits exactly where its sensor is.

05

Text

Headings and notes that turn a dense board into labeled zones a viewer can scan in seconds.

06

iFrame

Embed a BI report, weather map, or status page from a vetted list of services — right beside your device data.

07

Control

Switches, buttons, sliders, and inputs that send real device commands — next to the readings that justify them.

08

Digital Building Twin

A live 3D model of your facility that recolors itself in real time as the sensors bound to it report.

Conditional formatting

Dashboard colors that already know your thresholds

Every metric carries its own condition rules — named ranges like “Compliant”, “Warning”, and “Breach”, each with a color. The widget turns green, amber, or red the moment a reading crosses a line, so operators see status, not raw numbers.

The same sensor can mean different things in different places: 4 °C is green in a cold store and red in a cleanroom. Conditions encode that context per widget.

  • First matching rule wins — order sets priority
  • Open-ended ranges: “everything above 12” is one rule
  • Any unit label — °C, bar, ppm, cm, whatever you measure
  • Chart threshold bands color the live headline reading too

Organization

Folders that mirror your sites — dashboards that stay in order

Group dashboards into folders by building, region, or team, and drag them into the order your operation reads them — the most critical views on top.

Editing is deliberate: view mode stays read-only for daily operation, while edit mode is where you add, drag, resize, and configure widgets. Nothing changes until you hit Save — Cancel discards it all.

  • Folder hierarchy for multi-site deployments
  • Drag-and-drop reordering of dashboards and folders
  • Separate edit and view modes — changes apply on Save
  • Drag, resize, and rearrange widgets freely in edit mode

Deploy & share

IoT dashboards for the control-room wall, governed per user

A dashboard is only useful where people actually look — and only safe when the right people can change it.

Full-width wall display

Collapse the sidebar to icons and the dashboard takes the full width of the screen — made for operations-center walls, lobby screens, and factory-floor workstations that stay on all shift.

  • One click collapses navigation to icons only
  • Live facility status across all sites, hands-free
  • Compliance views that stay visible and current

Per-user access control

Access is attribute-based (ABAC) and set per person: give someone Edit on dashboards, View only, or No access at all — with different permissions in every organization they belong to.

  • Edit / View / No access, per user
  • Scoped per organization
  • Stakeholders see everything, change nothing

FAQ

IoT dashboard FAQ

Does the IoT dashboard really update in real time?

An open dashboard receives new readings through a persistent connection without a page reload. Update timing depends on the sensor reporting interval, network delivery and platform processing; it is not a guarantee of continuous measurement or zero latency.

Which widgets can I put on a dashboard?

Last Data (value, doughnut, pie, tube, gauge, radial gauge), Chart with threshold bands and an average line, Map with route history, Image with live pins on any floor plan or photo, Text, iFrame embeds, Control widgets that send device commands, and a 3D Digital Building Twin.

How do I organize dashboards across many sites?

Group them into folders by building, region, or team, and drag-and-drop to reorder both folders and dashboards. One folder level keeps the sidebar predictable, and clear naming — site plus function — makes any view findable.

Who can see or edit a dashboard?

Access is attribute-based (ABAC) and set per user: Edit, View, or No access on dashboards, scoped per organization. The same person can hold different permissions in each organization they belong to.
