In the VOLTTRON readthedocs for the Simple Web Agent Walk-through, is it possible to run a web agent on a stand alone VOLTTRON deployment? Or does a web agent need to be connected to a central Volttron instance? Can a VOLTTRON edge device connected to a central instance host a web interface?
What I am curious about is if a local edge device (central, not central, or mix) host a simple dashboard for agent setpoint control.
I am just playing around with some very simple html <input>: The Input (Form Input) element I was curious if best practice would be to host a seperate web instance where VOLTTRON could just hit a rest end point to get some "setpoint information" from the building operator staff, or if the edge device could just host a web interface itself..?
Very simple dashboard that I could maybe butter up with some javascript in browser later on, this is a rough idea I was curious about.

Looks like this, thanks for any advice not a lot of wisdom here :)
