Set up the screen
Open the dashboard on the wall computer, log in, go full-screen. Each tab keeps its own schedule, so several dashboards can rotate.
RefreshPilot · Use case
Auto refresh for dashboards & live data
A dashboard on the wall is a promise that the numbers are current. RefreshPilot keeps that promise — reloading past every cache, on exactly the schedule your data updates.

How to set it up
Match the timing to the data
If the numbers update every 5 minutes, reload every 5 minutes. The custom timer takes exact hours, minutes and seconds.
Turn on hard refresh
This is the fix for stale charts: skip the cache and pull everything fresh from the server, so nothing can show you yesterday.
Show the timer, watch for errors
The on-page countdown makes freshness visible from across the room. Add keywords like "session expired" so the screen tells you when it needs a human.
01 — The problem
"Live" dashboards quietly go stale
Wall-screen tabs are where auto-updating goes to die: a connection drops overnight, a login expires, a cached chart shows yesterday's numbers — and the screen still looks fine while it lies to everyone. Nobody notices until a decision gets made on old data.
Features doing the heavy lifting
Hard Refresh
Hard Refresh
Skip the cache and pull every byte fresh from the server on each pass — for pages that insist on showing you yesterday's data.
Custom Intervals
Custom Intervals
Dial in the exact gap between reloads — hours, minutes and seconds. If the job calls for 7m 45s, you get precisely 7m 45s.

Prefer the countdown on the page itself? A floating overlay ticks away in the corner — readable from across the room, gone in one click.

Contact supportThe dashboard says it auto-updates. Why add a reloader?
Built-in auto-update depends on a connection staying healthy for days. In real life, connections drop, logins expire, and charts freeze silently. A scheduled hard reload fixes the screen every few minutes, no matter what broke.
What about dashboards that log out overnight?
Add the login page's words — "Sign in", "Session expired" — as keywords. You get pinged the moment the screen needs a login, instead of it sitting on a login form until someone walks by.
Can one computer rotate several dashboards?
Yes — one tab per dashboard, each on its own schedule. With auto-start rules, the computer can even reboot overnight and come back with every watch running.
Does constant reloading overload our servers?
It's one page load per interval per screen — the same as one person glancing at the dashboard. Match the timing to how often the data really changes and you add basically nothing.
