1 device offline: supervision flags it rather than hiding it.
How it is wired
Sensors report to a gateway, which forwards to Thingsform over MQTT. What sets the platform apart is the lower line: the command goes back to the equipment.

What the platform does with these readings
The dashboard is only the visible part: each metric can carry a threshold, drift detection and a command in return.
Flow
120–2 400 m³/h- Threshold outside the 120–2 400 m³/h range
- Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
- Command sent back to the device over MQTT or Modbus
Pressure
8.0–65.0 bar- Threshold outside the 8.0–65.0 bar range
- Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
- Correlation with the site's other readings
Leak index
0.00–1.00- Threshold outside the 0.00–1.00 range
- Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
- Correlation with the site's other readings
Valve
0–100 %- Threshold outside the 0–100 % range
- Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
- Correlation with the site's other readings
Start with the Pipeline monitoring dashboard
It ships configured. Connect your sensors over MQTT, HTTP or Modbus, and your values take the place of these.
