#### _Detailed explanation of the problem:_

Hi,  
it’s Luca from DAC System.

We need to design a dashboard to show the readings of a lot of sensors.

An example of a monitored system:

The measurements to display come from the child devices (Temp, pressure, rf..), the root doesn’t send any.  
In a real system the number of child devices goes up to more than 20.

The solution should satisfy this points:

1. The dashboard is at root device level
2. No custom widget/s development
3. No need to scroll to read all the information

So far, we tried to use “KPI Trend” widget and “Info Gauge” but it results in too many widgets and the third point is not satisfied.

We are now experimenting with data points table.

Any other idea?

Best
