# ⚙️ Admin Panel
|
|
|
|
The Admin Panel is the right place to configure and customize EcoDash.
|
|
|
|
## How to access the Admin Panel
|
|
|
|
If this is the first time you've run EcoDash, you will load directly into the Admin Panel, and you won't be able to leave it until you've changed the settings.
|
|
|
|
After the first run, click the "Admin" button in the left side of the navbar, or in the hamburger menu from mobile devices.
|
|
|
|
If you do not see that button, you can still access the admin panel by appending "/admin" to the URL of your EcoDash homepage.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
### HomeAssistant
|
|
|
|
- **HomeAssistant's base URL**: the base URL which you use to access HomeAssistant on your server. It should be something like `http://INTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS:8123/` or `https://homeassistant.youdomain.com/`.
|
|
- **HomeAssistant's API Key**:
|
|
- **Installation date**: Select the date of the first day in which your server's consumption was logged in its entirety. Users won't be able to see consumption data before this date.
|
|
|
|
### Sensors
|
|
|
|
- **Polled Smart Energy Summation entity ID**: After your plug is added in HomeAssistant, get it in Settings -> Devices & Services -> Select the smart plug (or the Zigbee dongle -> Smart plug) -> look for an entity called like "[Name of your plug] Polledsmartenergysummation" -> Settings -> Copy the Entity ID. Check that the unit of measurement in the "Info" tab is kWh.
|
|
- **CO2 signal Grid fossil fuel percentage entity ID**: After the CO2 Signal integration is enabled in HomeAssistant, get it in Settings -> Devices & Services -> CO2 Signal "2 entities" -> CO2 signal Grid fossil fuel percentage -> Settings -> Copy the Entity ID. Check that the unit of measurement in the "Info" tab is %.
|
|
|
|
### Admin account
|
|
|
|
- **Username**: The username which you will have to enter the Admin Panel. Note it doesn't have to be the same as HomeAssistant.
|
|
- **Password**: The password which you will have to enter the Admin Panel. Note it doesn't have to be the same as HomeAssistant.
|
|
|
|
### Personalization
|
|
|
|
- **Theme**: This setting will allow you to change the theme. There are no alternative themes at the moment.
|
|
