Async Dashboard Demo

Full-featured DFTE demo that combines nested templates, iterators, and a captive portal served via ESPAsyncWebServer. The device exposes its own SoftAP so multiple users can connect and view the dashboard without additional infrastructure.

Highlights:

• SoftAP + DNS captive portal (DFTE-Dashboard-8266 or DFTE-Dashboard-ESP32, password dfte-dashboard)
• Aggregated metrics section populated from RAM getters (uptime, device count, client count)
• Iterator-driven device table with per-entry overrides
• Streaming HTTP responses to avoid buffering the entire page in RAM

Build

pio run -d examples/AsyncDashboardDemo -e dashboard_esp8266
pio run -d examples/AsyncDashboardDemo -e dashboard_esp32

Run

See the shared examples guide and async web guidance.

1. Flash your target board (pio run -d examples/AsyncDashboardDemo -e <env> -t upload --upload-port <port>).
2. Open the serial monitor at 115200 baud to confirm the SoftAP credentials.
3. Connect to the advertised network and browse to http://192.168.4.1/. The captive portal should automatically redirect; if not, navigate manually.
