# 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)

## Room Selector

If you have multiple rooms configured, use the room selector dropdown to switch between them.

## Navigation Menu

Click the **menu icon** (☰) to access:

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Zone Editor** | Create and edit detection zones |
| **Room Builder** | Modify room layout |
| **Heatmap** | View presence patterns over time |
| **Recording** | Record tracking sessions |
| **Settings** | Configure options and manage rooms |
| **Add New Device** | Set up another sensor |

## Connection Status

The connection indicator shows:

* **Green** - Connected and receiving data
* **Yellow** - Connecting...
* **Red** - Disconnected (check device status)

If disconnected, verify:

* The device is powered on
* Home Assistant can reach the device
* The add-on is running

## Tips for Using the Dashboard


1. **Walk around the room** to verify tracking accuracy
2. **Check zone activation** by entering each zone
3. **Adjust device position** if tracking seems offset
4. **Use Room Builder** to add obstacles that may affect detection
