Web Dashboard Guide
The web dashboard at app.nestpatrol.com, as tasks. Use the search box to jump to a “how do I…”. Each task shows the screen and where to click.
Finding your way

The Overview is a launchpad: every tile is a button that takes you to the thing it counts. Red or amber means something needs you. If everything is quiet, you are done. That is the point of it.
