Managing Your Smart Panel

Your Smart Panel is more than just a display. It’s a powerful interface that lets you control, monitor, and customize how your smart devices interact with your environment.

This section shows you how to manage everything from adding new devices to building beautiful dashboards with tiles and data sources.

What You Can Do Here

Add and organize smart devices
Organize devices into spaces — rooms, floors, and areas of your home
Create scenes to trigger multiple device actions at once
Build pages and dashboards with drag-and-drop tiles
Connect devices to tiles through data sources
Use plugins to sync devices from other platforms (like Home Assistant)

Whether you’re starting from scratch or syncing existing smart devices, this section has you covered.

Where This Happens

All of these actions are done through the Admin Panel, which runs alongside the backend and is accessible via a browser from any device on your network.

Just visit http://smart-panel.local:3000 or use your device’s IP address with port 3000 to access the panel.

The domain smart-panel.local is available via mDNS when the backend is running. You can use it to access the Admin UI from your browser on the same network.

You’ll see:

A list of your devices
Your spaces — rooms and areas where devices are placed
Your scenes — saved automations for one-tap control
A collection of pages and tiles
Tools to configure your system, plugins, and more

Tip

Use the Admin Panel to:

Experiment with new layouts
Group sensors and controls for a room
Easily customize the user experience without needing to code
