As to the WAF you just need to add some data that your wife would find useful. I'm in the same boat so I was looking today at these:

I'm noodling the idea of being able to show\hide groups of information. So you could have a switch that said Show\Hide Plant Info and toggling it would turn that info on and off. It would have a couple of benefits.

- The room could be "overbooked". Maybe you define 15 devices\data but as long as you are only showing 10 at a time it doesn't matter.
Not sure how to implement it but it will come to me.
