    Hi,

    Has anyone set up any nice dashboards. Something that might have data from the energy meter in your home (like the graphs i get from lightwave)
    and in another frame the temperature from say a sonoff, smart things or Nest stat. Maybe an IOT tracker somewhere else, a tile or something

    This would just be an information board, I know some things simply wont work outside their environment, even some of the tech i named.

    However I'd like to mess with this a bit and I'm wondering if anyone here could help.

    Thank you in advance.

    Note initially I'd like to avoid a rPi server solution and see if it could be carried out on a third party web site with webhooks, URLs, frames etc.

    But I don't know enough about it at the moment to be too rigid.

    Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) came to mind as I read your post, but then you mentioned avoiding an rPi solution. You could set something up on a t1.micro on AWS or something like that, and then open the various ports on your modem, to allow access to the various devices. All the devices will need fixed IPs ideally. You can run HA as a Docker image, so it'll work on the web, but the discovery could be tricky - you'll end up having to manually maintain your own list of devices I would think.
