Quickstart

Five steps to live data.

  1. Create your account and verify your email. Optionally add a passkey or 2FA for security.
  2. Add a data source. Either connect a gateway (for RS485/Modbus/GPIO sensors) or add a direct MQTT device.
  3. Confirm it's online. On the Devices page, a green dot means we've seen a message in the last 90 seconds.
  4. Build a dashboard. Go to Dashboards → New, drag a chart or gauge onto the canvas, and bind it to your device's tag. See build your first dashboard.
  5. Add an alert. Create a rule so you get notified when a value crosses a threshold.

That's it — you now have live data and alerting. Next, explore plans & limits to size your usage.
