Show status by default on visiting main page #279

Feature Request

When I first visit the iotawatt.local page, I see the 4 buttons with no other info. Please consider showing status by default. If the unit hasn't been configured yet, perhaps show a message that says it's waiting for you to set up inputs, etc.

One way this happens is if I go the graph+ page, then use the back arrow, the status folds up and I only see the 4 buttons.

That's more complicated than it sounds. The status display has many tabs. There's a default set that is used, but starting up with that displayed just begs another request to be able to set the defaults. What would be more useful IMO, would be an app that displays a configurable dashboard of inputs and outputs. Something like that could be offered from the main Data button, and like Graph+, have the ability to be launched independently and imbedded.

I'm going to close this issue out. It would be nice to see it resurface as a PR from an industrious user.
