Thank you all for the comments on this. It’s actually not something I’ve ever thought about but a locally ran dashboard would be ace. So is node red a program or a server type thing that you then run alongside your ST hub? And with that you can create a type of dashboard with icons to various ST devices and routines etc ( at least all of the local ones ).

Node-red is a program. You run it on another device, usually a raspberry pi, alongside your smartthings hub.

Here’s Tim’s how-to write up on his Node Red “automation box“ which has lots of details:
