This looks really cool. I'd love to pair it up with our work on InfluxDB!

Re: Show HN: Simple Dashboards for Internet-Connected Devices
#32I am seeing an opportunity for a service that provides the following, and perhaps it already exists: 1. A unified source of dashboards/dashboard widgets 2. which accept data in one or more known and well-documented format(s) 3. which are largely configurable and themeable 4. which can be embedded as either a whole dashboard or individual widgets This would allow that service to manage all the hard work of actually de…
Checkout www.sqldashboards.com
Regarding your points: 1. Currently 13 charting widgets 2. Database SQL query format 3. Configurable and Themable (3 themes so far) 4. Not yet but would be nice...

#33Think I may have found a bug. When trying to load a JSON feed which isn't behind HTTPS, FireFox blocks it from being loaded on the board:
`Blocked loading mixed active content`

In an ideal world, every cheap IoT device would have an valid SSL certificate - but that's a long way off. Perhaps your site should try to proxy the requests rather than relying on the user's browser?

I ran in to the same thing.
I just downloaded freeboard and I'm running it locally on http, no problem.

#35I'm not seeing any pricing information anywhere. This could be driving people away. I know I personally hate having to do the whole "try before you buy" dance just to find out pricing.

Check out https://telemetryapp.com -- it handles your requirements I think.

Freeboard is in public beta right now and there is no charge. We will post price information soon, and we will always have a free option, like dweet.io.
All current functionality will remain free. New functionality that we end up building may fall into a paid category.

Yeah it's something that is browser dependent. I wouldn't call it a bug, but it is an annoyance. It's a decision we had to make in order to keep Freeboards secure for customers who don't want their data to be seen. But it does require the API to be available in HTTPS as well.
It's something we'll have to fix— maybe an option to turn off SSL for the freeboard, or like you say, create a proxy.
We'll look into it and have a solution soon.

Cool, thanks.

#40Looks promising. Stumbled upon one issue: Gauge has Minimum/Minimum labels instead of Minimum/Maximum
I was also hoping to find WebSocket support. While polling works for a lot of cases I expect modern dashboards to update in realtime. Especially considering how easy it is with tools like Pusher, PubNub, Firebase, etc.
