The tile only exists on an installation that has run something, which is the same "nothing has been run yet" the Runs screen goes by. The count comes from /runs/overview, already grouped by status in the database and already polled by the Runs screen, so Home shares its cache entry rather than paging rows or growing a second endpoint.

The dashboard app
The web interface is a single-page app served at app.${DOMAIN} — or, for an
installation reached through a portal, at ${DOMAIN}/i/{installation-id}.
Either way it is the same application, and it is a client of the same REST API
you can script against.
Sign in with the account the installation was created with. On a fresh installation that account was printed once, on the first start.
The shell
A floating sidebar on the left, the selected screen filling the rest. On a phone the sidebar collapses to a sheet.
| Entry | What lives there |
|---|---|
| Home | the brain graph, health, and everything that recently happened |
| Flows | the list of flows, and the canvas for each |
| Dashboards | the widget canvases, and the panels that display them |
| Secrets | credentials your nodes reference without holding |
| Modules | the Python packages your node code may import |
| Alerts | where failures get sent |
| Admin | users (superusers only) |
| Settings | your account, appearance, and remote access |
Home
The one screen you leave open. Four things share it.
The brain graph
Every flow drawn as a neuron, wired to the flows it exchanges messages with. This is the brand mark made live, and it is also the fastest read on the installation: a neuron pulses when its flow is running work, and its ring turns terracotta when the flow cannot run as written. A neuron with a problem keeps its label showing so you can see which one it is without hovering.
Each flow also has a switch beside it in the list, which starts and stops it.
Flows and dashboards
Two columns under the graph, exactly as tall as each other, most recently worked on first. The flows column is the list with the switches; the dashboards column is a mosaic, each tile a schematic of that dashboard's layout — blocks where its widgets sit, shaded by what kind of widget each one is. Neither column grows past about six rows: past that it scrolls in place rather than pushing the health block down the page.
The tiles are a footprint, not a live view. They show you which dashboard is which at a glance; the readings are on the dashboard itself.
Health
Always answers, degraded or not. The tiles cover:
- Flows — total, running, paused, quarantined, and how many cannot run because their graph does not validate
- Nodes — how many failed to load
- Runs running — batch runs in flight right now, and how many are waiting. Only on an installation that has run something
- Queue — depth, and how old the oldest pending item is
- Loop lag — whether the engine's event loop is keeping up
status: degraded comes with a list of named problems, in words. "3 flow(s)
cannot run: house, pv, hallway" is more useful than a red dot, so that is what
it says.
Activity
Charts of executions and failures over the selected range (1h / 6h / 24h / 7d), with the recent runs, recent failures, dead-lettered work and the audit trail underneath.
The charts are scrubbable: hover a moment and the lists below filter to it, click to hold it while you read. That turns "something went wrong around two o'clock" into the actual rows.
Flows
The list shows each flow's title, node count, whether it has unpublished changes, and whether it is enabled, paused or quarantined. The toolbar searches, creates, and offers Publish all changes when several flows have drafts.
Opening one takes you to the flow editor.
Deleting several at once
Press and hold a card — or ctrl-click it — to pick it, then tap the rest. While anything is picked, New flow in the toolbar becomes a trash button, and it asks once before deleting the lot. Unpicking the last one puts the list back; so does Escape. The Dashboards screen works the same way.
Everything else
- The flow editor — the canvas, the code editor, running and testing
- Dashboards and panels — widgets, bindings, and hanging a screen on a wall
- Secrets, modules and alerts — the three screens that keep an installation running
- Accounts and the portal — reaching an installation from outside its network
Appearance
Light and dark follow your system by default; Settings → Appearance overrides it. Both themes are first-class — the wall-panel view in particular is designed to be legible in dark from across a room.
