    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.

    Chiller

    -26 °C
    • Threshold outside the -2–6 °C range
    • Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
    • Command sent back to the device over MQTT or Modbus

    Freezer

    -24-16 °C
    • Threshold outside the -24–-16 °C range
    • Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
    • Correlation with the site's other readings

    Door open

    012 min
    • Threshold outside the 0–12 min range
    • Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
    • Correlation with the site's other readings

    Humidity

    4070 %
    • Threshold outside the 40–70 % range
    • Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
    • Correlation with the site's other readings

    Start with the Smart retail dashboard

    It ships configured. Connect your sensors over MQTT, HTTP or Modbus, and your values take the place of these.
