WallPanel

WallPanel (Formerly HomeDash) is an Android browser for displaying web based dashboards which has other features that integrate into your home automation.

Quick Start

Install the application to your device and run it. It will go straight to a default page just to say it's working. To go/return to settings, swipe from the top or bottom of the screen and press Back. To close the background services swipe out the app from the Android task manager.

API

You can control the app remotely via MQTT or HTTP(REST). For a description of the API calls, visit https://github.com/WallPanel-Project/wallpanel-api/blob/master/README.md

Sensors

If MQTT is enabled and Sensor Reading Frequency is set, the app will post sensors per the API description. Currently only motion, pressure, light, and battery are posted.
