Personal Weather Station Dashboard (PWS_Dashboard) Long-Term-Support version published November 1, 2023

---

Real user-website(s) to get an idea what you could build yourself:

• This website in the US is a prime example of a standard install
• This website in the Netherlands uses pwsWD as a dashboard-only (without a menu a.s.o.) in its weather-website
• This Canadian website included a self-written script to replace the default AQ block, an extra footer and other goodies

Check also the demo of the simplified dashboard format which is often used as an "extra console" on a (spare) tablet.
