Preparation

Define your dashboard using Dashboard channels!

You will see then only these channels!

You could also direct use "real" channels, but specialized dashboard channels have some advantages:

  • Definition of axis start and end values, no auto detection
  • Definable color bands on the axis

Channel definition

Define to color bands for the gauges like this.

start > end : color
  • Spaces around delimiters are optional
  • For start and end absolute or relative (with % suffix) values allowed, also mixed
  • If start is not given, begins from axis starts
  • If end is not given, ends on axis end
  • Colors can be defined as HTML color names (green, red etc.) or HTML color codes (#123456)

E.g. for a temperature channel (with axis range -30°C ... 30°C) the following are equivalent:

   >  0 : blue         ==       -30 > 50%  : #0000FF
0  > 20 : green        ==       50% > 20   : #008000
20 >    : red          ==       20  > 100% : #FF0000

Example

InverterTemperatureDashboard.png

Axis range: -15°C ... 55°C

   >  0 : #FBB  // below zero
 0 > 35 : #BFB  // ok 0 ... 35°C
35 > 40 : #FFB  // warning 35°C ... 40°C
40 >    : #FBB  // critical above 40°C

Advanced usage

You can embed the dashboard also anywhere else, for example via iframe.

For this view, no authorization is required!

To get the embedded view, just use

http://your.domain.here/dashboard/embed

You can this also use to run PVLng on an info frame, just open this in full screen!
