The Thinger Edition ist on the rails.
It patches the binary, uploads the code and now can personalise template files to directly deliver ready configured dashboards adjusted to the user’s credentials.
After adjusting the user just copies/paste the configuration to the developer view of the corresponding dashboard.
I suppose you have no API to create empty dashboards / buckets directly without the browser?
Else, I could do that with Python as well to simplify even more the initialization of a fresh new Thinger.io account.
The PythonPatcherTE.py (Thinger Edition) is tested and running.

I found these dashboards templates: ['z_Thinger.Min.h', 'z_Thinger.Sec.h']
Personalising these templates to your credentials ?y
Opening each file and replacing b'Cloudname' with b'spThinger'; replacing b'Device' with b'Witty' ...

It works fine now.
Tomorrow, I will recreate everything on a Vanilla Windows system and on a Vanilla macOS system, create a fresh empty Thinger account and document every step.
I will deliver also my evaluation binary ESP_SwissArmyKnife_Rev06_2024, in a configuration that requests only a blank ESP8266 to deliver live Noise Meter values, and two Dashboard templates, so you can wonder what one can do with only an ESP8266 backed by Thinger.io !
I would like to see the option to enter Cloud Hostname, i.e., with a default value for the community servers (iot.thinger.io), so the users from the private servers can benefit also from the tool
No problem to enter a new information and define defaults.
But what are you calling “Cloud Hostname” is it the baseline Web URL for custom servers?
Where is that info used in the ESP code?
I thought that the Thinger API automatically routes to the corresponding customer’s server right from the user credentials?
