+===== Web Interface to view and graph the data =====
+An easy way to set up a web interface is to host a node-red instance on a server, for example on a stationary Raspberry Pi 4, which can be accesses via network or can be made accessible with port forwarding from the internet.\\
+Setting up a Raspberry Pi 4B with docker and docker run portainer.
+Create a new Node-Red Stack with a compose file, which creates a node-red web instance on the device on port 1880.
+The ip adress is needed which can be requested with:
+    ifconfig
+<file yaml compose.yaml>
+version: "2"
+services:
+  node-red:
+    image: nodered/node-red:latest
+    environment:
+      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
+    ports:
+      - "1880:1880"
+    networks:
+      - node-red-net
+    volumes:
+      - ~/data/node-red:/data
+networks:
+  node-red-net:
+</file>
+The node-red webapp can then be accessed via [[http://ip-adress:1880]]\\
+The Node-RED Dashboard module is needed to display the data with node-red\\
+To install, click the Menu Button and choose "Manage palette". Click the "Install" tab and search for "node-red-dashboard".\\
+Then click on install and install in the pop-up window. Then return to the main view.\\
