Goal: build the interface your users see — a gauge to read a value and a switch to send a command. This is entirely no-code.

​
1. Open the Dashboard Designer

In your product’s Studio, open Design → Dashboard Designer. You get a blank canvas and a widget library.

​
2. Add a gauge (to read a value)

Drag a Gauge onto the canvas. In its General tab, set the widget ID to tempGauge.
The widget ID is the crucial link. In Lesson 4, firmware will push a value to tempGauge and this gauge will move. Pick IDs you’ll remember.

​
3. Add a switch (to send a command)

Drag a Switch onto the canvas. In its Triggers tab, set it to send your product’s Operate command — ON when toggled on, OFF when off (the command you defined in Lesson 1).

​
4. Save

Save the dashboard. You now have a UI with:
  • a gauge waiting for a value on tempGauge
  • a switch that will send Operate ON/OFF to a device
Nothing’s connected yet — that’s Lessons 3 and 4.
