How to view IoT central dashboard from mobile

Laszlo Frank 46

I have created a custom IoT Central application, added device templates and also custom IoT devices that sends various telemetry data to Azure. Next I created a nice dashboard.

Maybe a silly question, but I am just wondering what is the best way view this dashboard from my mobile phone ?
Is really the only way to share the dashboard url and each time click on "responsive view" on the mobile when it appears ? This is not too smart...:-(

Answer 1

Hello Laszlo Frank!

About your question, there are a few options available for viewing your IoT Central dashboard on a mobile phone:

Use the IoT Central mobile app: Microsoft provides an IoT Central mobile app that you can download from the App Store or Google Play Store. Once you download the app and log in to your IoT Central account, you can view your dashboard in a mobile-friendly format.
Use a mobile-friendly dashboard template: Depending on the IoT Central application you created, there may be a mobile-friendly dashboard template available that you can use instead of the desktop version. If this is the case, you can switch to the mobile-friendly template to view your dashboard on your phone.
Use a mobile browser with responsive design: If you prefer to use a mobile browser, you can try using a browser with responsive design capabilities. For example, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have built-in options for viewing websites in a mobile-friendly format. You can also use a third-party browser like Opera Mini or UC Browser that is designed for mobile devices.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the detailed answer. Option 1 was my first thought as well - and expectation, too - however, I am still not able to find IoT Central mobile application for Android. There is Azure PNP app, but that is a different stuff I believe. So which one is exactly the IoT Central app ?

Another option (rather than clicking on the "responsive view" option) is to use the IoT Central data export feature to send your device data to another visualization tool such as PowerBI and build a mobile friendly dashboard there.
