Live Dashboard

Live Dashboard

The Live Dashboard is your main view for watching real-time presence detection. See targets move, monitor zone status, and verify your sensor is working correctly.


Dashboard Overview

The dashboard displays:

  • Room layout with walls, doors, and furniture (if configured)

  • Detection zones you've created

  • Target dots showing detected people/objects

  • Device position and field-of-view cone

  • Real-time status indicators

Understanding the Radar View

Device Icon

The sensor icon shows where your device is positioned. The cone extending from it represents the field of view (detection area).


Target Dots

Each detected target appears as a coloured dot:

  • Dots move in real-time as targets move

  • Trails show recent movement path (fades over time)

  • Multiple targets are tracked simultaneously (EPL and Pro)


Zones

Zones appear as coloured rectangles or polygons:

  • Blue zones - Regular detection zones

  • Red zones - Exclusion zones (masks)

  • Green zones - Entry zones

  • Zone highlights when occupied

Status Indicators

Target Count

Shows how many targets are currently detected. Located in the status bar.

Zone Occupancy

Each zone shows its current state:

  • Occupied - Target detected inside zone

  • Clear - No targets in zone

Environmental Readings (EP1 Only)

EP1 devices display additional sensor data:

  • Temperature

  • Humidity

  • Illuminance (light level)

  • CO2 (if module installed)
