Seems weird it doesn’t seem to integrate with any TSDB that I can see quickly skimming the site. Maybe I missed it or maybe “home lab” doesn’t mean what I think it means.

I have junk emitting metrics from systems and sensors all over my house to InfluxDB (usually via telegraf) and thought this might be a more fun alternative to grafana.

In attempt to clarify; You would run your TSDB and Grafana _in_ your Homelab, and point to them with this "Dashboard".

Homelab is really a term for running your software in-house (at home specifically), in your own server rack, or something that resembles one (See: LackRacks[0]) for those with different budgets. It's a (software) test lab, with the "lab" part presumably coming from "computer lab".

I've always thought of "Dashboards" of this kind as a form of intranet page linking to internal services, available to everyone on the network.
