What is logi-hub-gui-service.exe?
logi-hub-gui-service is the graphical user interface service for the LogiHub platform. It hosts the local dashboard, renders real-time device status, and coordinates UI updates with the core hub services. The service runs in the background and exposes a UI through a local web server for administrators and operators.
The GUI service integrates with the LogiHub backend, providing a modular UI layer that renders dashboards, device statuses, and configuration panels. It communicates with the core services to reflect changes in near real-time.
Quick Fact: The GUI service is designed to keep the operator view responsive by streaming updates via WebSockets to the embedded web UI.
