Is there a way I can see when a new device accesses the Node-RED Dashboard?
The problem is, when I am with my laptop on the dashboard and then access even with the tablet or smartphone on it, the view no longer fits.
So all groups are displayed on the tablet / smartphone, although they are hidden on the laptop.
So it would be helpful for me to know if a new device is accessing the Dasboard so I can trigger a refresh of the page

the ui\_control node reports whenever anything connects or disconnects
