Turning the keypad into a summary dashboard

The keypad doesn't have to just arm and disarm — it can show a rotating summary of your home's doors, locks, leaks, temperature, and more. This is the same ESP32 Wall Keypad Dashboard app instance from step 3 of the setup guide; the fields below sit one click deeper, inside a button on that same page.

Same app,
one click deeper

On the app's main page, tap Summary Dashboard — the button below LAN Pairing. That opens everything below. No new app to create.

Tap this to reach the fields below

Name it to match

Dashboard id / title
Dashboard id *

The same word you've used everywhere else — front_door. One ID, used on the keypad, the driver, and here.

Dashboard title *

What actually shows on screen as the dashboard's heading, e.g. Home. This one's just a label — it doesn't need to match anything.

Three toggles

do what they say
  • Include Hubitat Safety Monitor statusAdds a tile showing HSM's current state.
  • Mirror Hubitat Safety Monitor state and alerts to keypadLets the keypad reflect and respond to HSM directly — this is what makes the "ARM / PARTIAL" screen actually mean something.
  • Include Hubitat modeAdds a tile for the Hub's current mode (Day, Night, Away, etc).
The first two only do anything once HSM is connected to the keypad — turning them on beforehand won't break anything, they just won't show real state yet.

Choose what shows up

six selector categories

Each selector below picks which devices feed that category's tile. The names shown here — pseudoContact, pseudoLock — are just placeholder/test devices; you'll pick your own.

Ordering the tiles

Tile order
Tile order *

A comma-separated priority order — contacts,locks,leak,switches,temp,power,mode,hsm by default. Six tiles fit on screen at once; select more devices than that and they group into additional pages, in this order, which you reach by swiping up or down.

Page 1 contactslocksleakswitchestemppower
↕swipe
Page 2 modehsm
The page count shows as 1/1, 1/2, and so on in the dashboard's top-right corner — see the screenshot below.

What lands on the keypad

Six categories in, six tiles out — Doors, Locks, Leak, Mode, Temp, and Security, in this example. Each tile's color follows the state it's reporting, the same way the keypad's arm/disarm screen does.

Finishing up

Publish dashboard now Done

Publish dashboard now pushes the current configuration to the keypad immediately — use it to preview changes without waiting. Done does the same thing, but also closes the app.
