Cloud Dashboard

The Dashboard is the first thing you see when you open the Cloud app. It is your layout's connection hub — showing status once at the top, your hardware connections, and quick ways to get running.

Layout Status

A single status header shows your layout name and DEJA Server status. It appears exactly once, so you always know at a glance whether your server is online.

Connections

The main panel lists the hardware devices registered in your layout. For each device you can:

  • Connect / disconnect — with serial port selection for USB devices
  • Reconnect — one tap to re-establish a dropped link
  • Open device details — click through to a device's full configuration

If you haven't installed your DEJA Server yet, a "Set up your railroad" card guides you through generating a server token and connecting.

Command Activity & Quick Launch

Alongside the connection panel, the dashboard shows a live command-activity chart and a QR code to launch the Throttle app on a phone or tablet — scan it to open the throttle on mobile, already pointed at your layout.

Use the sidebar to jump to any section — Roster, Turnouts, Routes, Effects, Signals, Sounds, Devices, Sensors, DCC-EX, and Settings.
