Thought a thread could be handy for keeping track of ideas.

One thing I would like to see on the signals board, is some way to track visitors between X and Y times, i.e 8:30pm - 11:30pm, the total visitors, and as well as visitors on each update the unit does, so the busiest times could be worked out etc. Currently a maximum of one hour is shown, and this can't be scrolled back.

This assumes I am using the board right and there isn't some way to get into this feature already!
 
you could do this with something like a beam break sensors which you'd hook up to home assistant and record stats
I've not seen one for years ( you may have seen one on a shop door entry )

Already have one of those, they fall over when people stand in front of them blocking the beam, when people walk in/out multiple times, and they count everything twice.
 
I would like to request that the Baldrick boards can use Power over Ethernet (PoE). With this I can speed up bench top configuration or firmware update process.
This one would be a costly addition with not many people using it.
I suggest a PoE breakout which has the plug cut off and terminated with ferrules so it's relatively quick to connect to the board.

Until something is in the UI, you could work all this out from the raw CSV data, filter based on time and then group and plot appropriately

How does one get that data? I don't see any downloads/save buttons.

Just been told in chat, that adding /csv to the end of the IP address (in my case 192.168.1.153/csv for example) it downloads everything since last power-up

the next one then is the one that scares a lot of people (AI-Powered Video Analytics) there are some free ones around although I'm not sure how well they work
