RPi to GUI discussion

1

Hi, I have a real world application and would like some feedback.

I have inherited a RPi4 application that collects data from a few sensors in Outback Australia.
Temperature, atmospheric pressure and a few other similar sensors. It has a few solar panels and batteries.

My goal is to make a one page GUI Graphical User Interface on the RPi4 so when any of our team VNC into the Pi we can see the current status and some real time data and maybe a graph with trends of temperature and battery voltage. I would like a few push buttons to initiate some commands to open and close a few valves.

Looking at options everything looks very script based. PyQT and Flask have been discussed.
One suggestion was to make a powerpoint of what I want the page to look like and build from there.

How would you go about it?

For data visualization I love DearPyGui. :slight_smile:
Give it a try.

Would you prefer something that has requires less experience with code?

I have a steep learning curve on Python and any GUI application.

I have built many SCADA systems and would love a simple GUI builder if it is available.

Does it need to be free or would you be willing to pay for a yearly licence?
