Hi guys, I should make a dashboard, which looks professional to the eye, to manage signals from sensors and activate outputs. Also I would like to insert graphs that constantly show the sensor values.
Can you give me some advice to make it simple but at the same time aesthetically beautiful?
Consider that I’m working with mqtt messages

Hi Andrea.
If you want to build a dashboard from scratch, you need to learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
If you want a simpler solution, and as you’re dealing with MQTT, you can use Node-RED to create a dashboard to display sensor readings and control outputs.
See our tutorials about MQTT with Node-RED:

I hope this helps.
