🧑‍💻 Admin Panel

The Admin Panel is the right place to configure and customize EcoDash.

How to access the Admin Panel

After installing and starting EcoDash, you will have the server running on the port you specified of the local IP address of the machine on which EcoDash is running.
If this is the first time you've run EcoDash, you will load directly into the Admin Panel upon opening the site, and you won't be able to leave it until you've completed the first run configuration.

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.yourdomain.com/.
  • HomeAssistant's API Key: Read HomeAssistant Setup to learn how to get it.
  • 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 the entity which shows the total consumed energy in kWh, which is often 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.
  • Dashboard name: This will change the name shown in the top-left corner of the screen.
