# The Web interface

## Other Web panels

Besides the built-in panels that we've already seen in the other sections,
Several integrations add their own feature-rich panels to the Web view, turning
Platypush into a gateway to all of your services - from Zigbee sensors, to
media players and services, to your music cloud, and more.

For example, the music view is available to most of the `music` plugins.

streams across multiple

Another example is the camera panel, to monitor your cameras, get stand-alone
feed URLs, and take photos. This becomes available in the UI if you enable at
least a `camera` plugin.

If you enabled at least one local `media` plugin (like `media.vlc`,
`media.mplayer` etc.) then you'll also unlock the media UI, which allows you to
index, search, view and cast media files under the configured `media_dirs`, and
it also integrates with other configured/supported backends such as YouTube,
Plex and Jellyfin.

## Dashboards

The web service also provides means for the user to create [custom
dashboards](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/src/branch/master/examples/conf/dashboard.xml)
that can be used to show information from multiple sources on a large screen.

music state, weather, news from the RSS integration, and a carousel of custom

## PWA support

Note that having the web application served over SSL is a requirement for the
PWA (progressive web app) to work. The Platypush PWA allows you to install a
Platypush native-like client on your mobile devices if you don't want to use the
full Android app.

## Mobile app

An [official Android
app](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/tech.platypush.platypush/) is provided on
the F-Droid store. It allows to easily discover and manage multiple Platypush
services on a network through the web interface, and it easily brings the power
of Platypush to your fingertips.

## Browser extension

A [browser extension](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush-webext) is
available for [Chrome](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush-webext)
and [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/platypush/).

The browser extension allows you to run Platypush actions and procedures
directly from your browser, associate keybindings with them, so you can run
your favourite routines with a few keystrokes anywhere in your browser, and
provides an advanced API to interact with the Web pages you visit - for
example, you can build an action that gets the content of a page you're
visiting and uses Platypush to distill it in readable format, or send the URL
to another service.
