# DIY Web Dashboard

If node-red isn't for you, it's also possible to access the data from a traditional website. To help with this we have created an example website with the JavaScript code (using Vue.js) in place to fetch all the data from the eChook server, leaving the html and css up to you to build the interface.

{% embed url="<https://echook.github.io/echook-demo-site/>" %}

### How to use

We suggest making a github account and forking the repository for the demo site. From here clone it to your computer and develop as you wish.

#### Hosting your Website (for free!)

Within the github settings tab of your forked repository, scroll down to the Github Pages section. Change the 'Source' dropdown from 'None' to 'Master Branch'. Github will then give you a URL to your newly hosted telemetry website.

## This is all new to me - Where do I start?

The above instructions are very simplistic and assume a basic knowledge of git and web development. If you are just starting out the [NetNinja tutorial series on Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW5YeuERMmlnqo4oq8vwUpg/playlists) are excellent:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.echook.uk/telemetry-live-data/diy-web-dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
