Dashboard Layout
The Home Edition dashboard is organised into distinct sections:
Health Ring
The centrepiece is a circular health indicator showing overall connection quality from 0 to 100. The score is calculated from download and upload speeds relative to expected baselines, latency stability, packet loss rate, and obstruction percentage.
- 80–100: Excellent. Connection is performing well.
- 50–79: Fair. Some degradation detected.
- Below 50: Poor. Issues that may need attention.
The ring is colour-coded: green for excellent, amber for fair, red for poor. Alongside the ring, you will see how long the connection has been stable and the current firmware version.
Metric Cards
Four live metric cards show current values with peak indicators and sparkline charts:
| Metric | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Download | Current throughput in Mbps with peak value |
| Upload | Current throughput in Mbps with peak value |
| Latency | Round-trip time in ms with lowest observed value |
| Drop Rate | Packet loss percentage with recent trend |
Information Panels
Below the metric cards, the dashboard shows:
- Power: Current draw in watts, peak, average, and estimated daily consumption in kWh. A colour bar indicates power level.
- Location: Obstruction mini-map, GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude, tilt), boresight azimuth and elevation, and accuracy.
- Status: Recent outage summary with total events, total downtime, and the last outage cause and time.
- Obstruction: Obstruction percentage with a sky view visualisation. Shows “Clear Sky” or the obstruction level.
- Device Info: Hardware revision, country code, mobility class, and Ethernet speed.
- Actions: Buttons for Run Speed Test and Reboot Terminal.
System Health
An expandable panel at the bottom shows:
- Subsystems: Status indicators for CADY, SCP, L1L2, XPHY, AAP, and RF.
- Dish State: Actuator status, stowed state, next slot timer.
- Bandwidth: Download and upload bandwidth limit status (OKAY / NO_LIMIT).
Status Bar
The footer bar shows hardware revision, firmware version, and polling count.
Navigation
The top navigation bar provides access to:
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | The main telemetry view described above |
| Devices | Connected devices list with data usage |
| History | Session history with streaming charts |
| Obstruction | Full obstruction map with dish position data |
Speed Testing
Click Run Speed Test on the dashboard to trigger a speed test through your Starlink router. A modal appears with animated download and upload gauges. The test runs through the router’s built-in speed test capability.
Results show:
- Current speed during the test
- Maximum speed achieved
- Progress percentage
Speed tests require the Starlink router to be connected. If you are using a third-party router, this feature will not be available.
Chart Expansion
Click the expand icon on any metric card sparkline to open a full-screen chart view showing the last 15 minutes of data. The expanded view includes:
- Current, minimum, maximum, and average values
- Hover tooltips with exact timestamps and values
- A larger time axis for detailed analysis
Press Escape or click the close button to return to the dashboard.
Dark Mode
Toggle between dark, light, and system appearance from Settings (gear icon in the top navigation bar). The app defaults to dark mode.
