Beyond mapping probe keys to labels, display preferences control which units appear on stat cards, whether humidity shows prominently, and how multiple feeds order on the home page. Preferences live server-side with your account so browsers and devices stay consistent after sign-in.
Preference categories
- Temperature unit — °F vs °C default on cards (JSON still carries both).
- Feed ordering — primary garage first when multiple URLs configured.
- Probe visibility — hide unused keys from home while keeping history.
Interaction with mappings
Labels come from probe mapping; prefs control presentation only. Misconfigured keys still hide data—debug with stale reading checklist.
Implementation notes
SSR reads prefs when rendering home page fetch for signed-in users. Guests see site defaults. Auth required: temperature feed settings and accounts overview.
