Data Visualization

The Visualization Layer transforms raw telemetry into interactive control panels. Dashboards aggregate multiple data sources into a single pane of glass for real-time monitoring and remote hardware control.

  • Dashboard: Centralized UI container for visualizing data and managing entities. Support multiple entities, states, and layouts.
  • Dashboard State: Logical “page” or view within a dashboard. Used to build drill-down hierarchies, like Building asset → Room sensor.
  • Widget: Modular UI element used to display telemetry or execute commands: Charts, Gauges, Maps, Tables, etc.
  • Widget bundle: Curated collection of widgets grouped by function: Digital Gauges, Charts, Control Widgets, etc.
