Rhombus launches custom dashboards and mini-apps for security data

Rhombus on Oct. 8 introduced Rhombus Studio, a new custom build service that turns physical security data into live dashboards and mini-apps for customers across industries. The offering is meant to help organizations use cameras, access control and sensors for operational insights beyond standard security monitoring.

Why it matters: - Rhombus Studio gives organizations a way to turn security infrastructure into operational software without building it themselves. - The service targets customers that need custom dashboards for specific workflows, from equipment tracking to staffing and compliance. - Channel partners can now offer bespoke solutions without taking on third-party development work.

What happened: - Rhombus on Oct. 8, 2026, announced Rhombus Studio, a custom build service for live dashboards and mini-apps. - The service is built for organizations in education, transportation, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, self-storage, agriculture and other industries. - Rhombus said Rhombus Studio is available beginning Oct. 8, 2026, through channel partners in countries where compliance permits.

The details: - Rhombus said its in-house team works with customers and channel partners to define needs and build custom dashboards using more than 900 LLM-friendly API endpoints. - The dashboards pull live data from Rhombus cameras, IoT sensors and access control systems. - AI-driven logic can run continuously from every second to every hour. - Custom dashboards are available inside the Rhombus platform, with no extra install or download required. - Rhombus said customers can move from idea to working build in days, not months. - Each dashboard is hosted and paid for annually, with pricing based on complexity. - Rhombus said it can identify needed hardware and connect customers with an installation partner if needed. - Channel partners can use Rhombus Studio to serve prospects whose needs go beyond standard platform features. - Rhombus designs, builds and hosts each dashboard itself, and can deliver a working proof of concept on a customer’s real data. - Teams that want to build on their own can use the Rhombus CLI to create similar experiences. - Use cases cited include efficiency dashboards, space and occupancy utilization, infrastructure and systems management, and smart detection and predictive alerts. - Rhombus said healthcare facilities can track PPE compliance and handwashing between patients. - Rhombus said schools can flag hallway activity during class periods. - Rhombus said construction sites can verify that subcontractors arrive wearing hard hats and other required protective equipment.

Between the lines: - Rhombus is positioning its security platform as a broader operational data layer, not just a monitoring tool. - The launch reflects demand for customized, industry-specific software that standard security dashboards do not cover. - CTO Brandon Salzberg said customers want their own custom pane of glass rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. - Salzberg also said not every customer or partner has the time or resources to build and maintain custom solutions themselves, which is why Rhombus created Rhombus Studio.

What's next: - Rhombus is directing interested organizations to learn more online or contact a Rhombus channel partner or the company’s sales team at sales@rhombus.com. - Rhombus said a one-minute video overview is available to show the product in action.

The bottom line: - Rhombus Studio is designed to make custom security-data applications faster to deploy, easier to maintain and available to more customers through the Rhombus platform.
