Tutorial: Querx Panel

The Querx Panel application is available for Windows PC and Raspberry Pi. It displays measurements and alerts for up to nine sensors in a full screen visualization. This makes it possible to, for instance, create a large display in the fields of production and storage on a tight budget.
