Dashboard¶
The dashboard is the home screen of Kamerplanter. It gives you a quick overview of your plants, upcoming tasks, active warnings, and key metrics — all at a glance without having to navigate through individual sections.
Prerequisites¶
- At least one plant or an active planting run
Opening the Dashboard¶
The dashboard opens automatically after logging in. You can reach it at any time via the Kamerplanter logo or the Dashboard navigation entry.
Dashboard Sections at a Glance¶
Active Plants and Growth Phase¶
The upper section shows an overview of all active plants with their current growth phase. Plants are colour-coded by phase:
- Light green: Germination / Seedling
- Green: Vegetative phase
- Purple: Flowering phase
- Yellow: Harvest phase
- Grey: Dormancy (rest phase)
Click a plant to go directly to the plant detail page.
Upcoming Tasks¶
The task block shows the next due tasks sorted by urgency:
- Overdue tasks appear in red at the top
- Tasks due today appear in orange
- Tasks for the next 7 days appear in the default colour
Click a task to open it or mark it directly as complete.
Quick tick-off in the dashboard
For simple tasks such as "Watering confirmed" you can click the checkmark icon directly on the dashboard widget without opening the task.
Warnings and Notices¶
The warning block shows active messages that need attention:
- Red (critical): Harvest blocked by pre-harvest interval, sensor failed, tank empty
- Orange (warning): Overdue tasks, EC outside target range, probe calibration due
- Blue (info): Recommendations, notices about upcoming phase transitions
Click a warning to go directly to the affected area.
Tank Quick Overview¶
If you have tanks configured, the dashboard shows the current state of your tanks: - Fill level in % or litres - Current EC value (with traffic-light indicator: green = in target range, yellow = deviation, red = outside range) - pH value (with traffic-light indicator) - Next water change
Care Reminders Dashboard¶
Alongside the main dashboard there is a dedicated Care View that groups your plants by urgency of the next care action:
- Immediate: Plants whose care interval expires today or has already passed
- Today: Plants that need attention today
- This Week: Plants with care needs in the next 7 days
- No Need: Plants with no planned care action in the near future
This view is especially useful for people with many houseplants who want to see quickly which plant needs water or fertilizer today.
Dashboard Adaptation by Experience Level¶
The dashboard adapts to your experience level (configurable under Account → Settings → Experience Level):
Beginner: - Simplified view focusing on care tasks - No technical metrics (EC, VPD) - Friendly phrasing ("Your tomatoes need water")
Intermediate: - All care tasks plus tank status - EC and pH as numbers (without deep analysis) - Harvest forecasts
Expert: - Full metrics view - VPD display with target range - Yield trends and comparisons
Show all fields
At any experience level you can toggle "Show All Fields" (top right on the dashboard) to temporarily switch to the full view without permanently changing your experience level.
Frequently Asked Questions¶
Why do I see no sensor data on the dashboard?
Sensor data appears on the dashboard only when at least one sensor is configured and active. If you have no smart home integration, use manual measurements — these appear on the dashboard too, labelled "Manual".
Can I customise the dashboard or rearrange widgets?
Full drag-and-drop dashboard customisation is planned for a future version. Currently the dashboard adapts automatically based on your experience level and the extent of your setup.
Why do some plants not appear on the dashboard?
The dashboard shows only active plants (not completed, not removed). Plants in a completed planting run no longer appear. If an active plant is missing, check that it is in the correct tenant.
