Embedded Device Dashboard Web UI: Architecture and Design

An embedded device dashboard web UI is a browser-based interface for monitoring and controlling hardware in real time. It runs on the device using an embedded web server and communicates via HTTP, REST APIs, or WebSocket. This approach removes the need for native apps and enables access from any browser. Event-driven models such as those used by Mongoose handle multiple connections efficiently without threads, making them ideal for resource-constrained devices.
