Widget Types Overview

New widget types may be added occasionally. If you have an idea for a widget that would help with your dashboards and project, please send us your idea and more information on how you would use it.

The following contains a brief overview of the types of widgets you can use to customize your dashboard. Please also note that depending upon which widget you select, the customization options and data shown will differ.

Real-Time Data

Device Data (Default)

Contains a summary of the latest data points for sensor in a style similar to what you would see on the app dashboard’s Manage screen.

The Device Data widget is meant to be something that can be easily added - unlike the other widgets it does not contain much customization options and instead relies on its pre-defaulted styling.

Device Data (Multi-Value)

Display multiple data points in a single Value widget. Allows you to configure which data is of primary importance for display and which should be shown, but as lower importance in widget (e.g. Upper/Lower, Primary/Secondary display).

Tank Level

For display of Distance or Level sensors monitoring tanks / containers that should show a fill-level style.

Value

General display widget where the sensor is sending Value readings. This can be used as a catchall widget for anything that sends Value readings.
