A while ago, I made a simple IOT dashboard in Polymer that relies only on a MQTT broker and I figure that I would share it with you all!
The dashboard displays cards which show you data and/or available controls for your devices. The dashboard connects as a MQTT client along with the other IOT devices so this can be easily added to existing MQTT networks. Cards displayed on the dashboard are defined by the devices themselves. The data flow between the dashboard and the devices is bi-directional so the cards will always reflect the state of the device. Also, as the devices go online/offline the cards will appear and disappear too.
Regarding the modularity of the project, each card is an independent polymer component so that more types of cards can be added to fit your needs. There is a handful of cards I have made to fit basic use cases but feel free to add more!
I hope you like it! Let me know what you all think.
