Smart Home

The Smart Home system lets you control lights and a motor while monitoring gas, temperature, humidity, rain, and fire alerts from one dashboard. All data and control commands are sent through the panel topic dash_177xxxxxxxxxx. You can manage devices and view sensor status in real time from a single panel.

dash_177xxxxxxxxxx
Create panel

How It Works

  1. Create an account if you are a new user, or sign in if you already have an account.
  2. Create a new panel.
  3. Add widgets to the panel.
  4. Save the panel after adding widgets.
  5. Connect your hardware devices with the respective dashboard topic ID; values will be transmitted and displayed in the widgets.

Default widgets

Lights ON/OFFToggle switch.
Motor ON/OFFToggle switch.
Gas sensorGauge (e.g. ppm or %).
TemperatureGauge (°C).
HumidityGauge (%).
Rain sensorGauge.
Fire alertLED status indicator.

Before You Start

Connect your devices to the same cloud as KiwisIoT.

Your firmware must publish sensor readings and subscribe to control commands using dash_177xxxxxxxxxx.

Use a structured payload format so each sensor and control channel is mapped correctly in the dashboard. For setup details and payload structure, refer to the documentation or contact support.

Tips

  • ★ Set gas and fire thresholds in your firmware to trigger local alarms or relays.
  • ★ Use the same panel topic in your MCU for both subscribe (switches) and publish (sensors).
  • ★ Fire alert LED: publish 1 to channel 6 for alert, 0 for normal.
