Push any Home Assistant entity to a hosted dashboard

Send Home Assistant sensor data to an online dashboard

Home Assistant already knows the state of every sensor you own. If you want a simple hosted dashboard you can open from anywhere, without opening ports or paying for remote access, you can push chosen sensor values out to SensorConsole on a schedule. Home Assistant makes the request outward, so your install is never exposed.

What you can monitor

• Any numeric sensor entity
• Temperature, humidity, power, soil moisture, CO2 and more
