It's obviously daft as I could show a dashboard that told me how many people were concurrently on any of the websites and how many posts were made during the time I brushed my teeth. Which is pointless.
But the upside is that I really don't look at any dashboard often, by having all of the data in one place I can create alerts in one place. I know Home Assistant has a "Battery below 10%" alert capability, but here every alert from every system is one in place. I can put controls over all of it, like "don't alert me about such things overnight" and route different things to different devices of channels. I can even automatically page myself (literally the system will phone me and supersede any quiet mode on my phone) to tell me if something critical is happening (like one of the smoke sensors detecting fire).
All of this stuff (this site) runs so smoothly because of all of this monitoring and automation. I apply the same stuff to my home too.
