Dashboard
1

Hi Folks,

After 6 years with Home Assistant and NodeRed (automation), I'm in hate mode with HA dashboard.
I'm in a quest for a highly reliable system with low/no maintenance. (Build and forget)

So I started discovering flowfuse dashboard (V2) and so far it is solid.
But I don't see a lot of Home Dashboard made with it.

Is there something wrong with it down the line ? or too much coding for most people ?

So here is my first unfinished version made for a NSPanel Pro 120.

NSPanel pro

Cheers,

Last time I checked, HA includes Node-red dashboard-1 pre-installed, but not dashboard-2 (AKA "Flowfuse dashboard"). As dashboard-1 is now deprecated I would not use it. I have added instructions in the dashboard-2 documentation for how to install it on HA here

Thanks Omrid for the information.
In my case, I don’t pass the dashboard to Home Assistant,
NSPanel > Fully Kiosk > NodeRed Dashboard in full page.

This is not built with FlowFuse Dashboard. :wink:

This last one is experimental. It aims to be able to show detail when working on a mobile browser that wouldn't normally be visible.

I have others to go in, but they aren't used very often so tend to be at the bottom of my todo list (which, yes, is also on that "dashboard". :smiley: )

Very nice with UI-builder. :slight_smile:

Thanks. And it doesn't need rebuilding when a front-end framework is replaced.

the great radar charts are still missing with V2

It should not be too difficult to add the radar chart type to the chart node. You could get involved and contribute it yourself.

Main display on an old android tablet: NR hosted on raspberry 5. middle part has different functions for energy flow, heat pump, garbage remember, radio text

Looks good. Though I hope that your warm water isn't for human consumption and if it is, isn't in a tank. Static warm water below 60 is in danger of developing Legionella bacteria, which can cause Legionnaires’ disease.

Nice one !
What did you use ? Dashboard v1 ? V2 ? Or UI-builder ?

14

No problem: in the hot water tank is stored not the drinking water but the water from heating: the drinking water is heated during consumption in the tank.

V1. (And some characters here to enable the answer.:wink:).

I refer you to my previous post in :wink:

Although its a bit out of date, I'm now working on using OpenHASP on LCD touchscreens.

Isn't that Home Assistant??

How do you get Smoke Alarm data from a Summer House (presumably not close to the house). i.e. what smoke alarm & what transmission?

19

I get smoke alarm data from all my neighbours. :smiley: I've recorded hundreds over the years. 433Mhz.

20

Jeff, at the time of that dashboard it was using the led on the smoke alarm, they flash at a regular interval, hence the Alive status. When in alarm the flash rate increases, the led was wired to a gpio pin on an esp running tasmota, setup as a counter, with a couple of rules to publish Alive or Alarm as needed.

However I have since moved to these X-Sense units -

They use RF back to the base station, which is Wi-Fi connected, there is an API to check status of its connected devices, which I feed into NR now.

21

If you already have something like an RFXtrx433 dongle or similar to convert 433MHz to USB Serial, you can use Max's excellent set of nodes to pick up outputs from RM174RF units. I'm still seeing many of them around the neighbourhood. Presumably because there are a lot of rented and student houses around us and those alarms are relatively cheap.

Here is an example output:

{
  "status": {
    "rssi": 4
  },
  "topic": "RM174RF/0x000008",
  "payload": "Smoke",
  "updated": "2025-10-11T07:09:47.590Z",
  "updatedBy": "nrmain/Sensors/RFXtrx433e",
  "input": "rfx-detector",
  "protocol": "RM174RF",
  "id": "0x000008"
}

There are currently 2,517 433MHz devices listed in my raw log! I think we only have around 4 working in the house now. The most important one being our front door bell. A quick visual scan of the data suggests that this number has been accumulated since Oct 2020. :smiley:

Most of the entries are smoke alarms. With some door bells, temperature sensors, and light switches. Even the occasional CM180 power meter.
