Set Up the Web Interface

The available sensors and actuators can be placed and configured as desired on the web interface under "Home" > "Overview." The layout and color scheme are set under "Configuration" > "Device Settings."

Hidden Sensors

Hidden sensors and actuators can be unhidden in the "Home" > "Hidden Sensors" menu. This option is only visible if sensors or actuators have been hidden.

Move Sensor/Actuator

The sensor and actuator tiles can be distributed across multiple display pages. Each page can be given a name that matches the topic. (See: "Configuration" > "Device Settings").

Click this icon in the lower-left corner of the sensor/actuator tile. This will open a menu showing the pages that have already been configured.

Select the page you want.

Positioning a Sensor/Actuator

You can move the sensor tile by clicking with the mouse within the label area.

Configure Actuator

Click the tool icon to configure a sensor.

"Actuator" tab

• Show or hide this element on the interface

Default = Show. If "Hide" is selected, the actuator will no longer appear on the web interface. However, logical evaluation of the signal is still possible. Hidden actuators can be displayed again via the “Main Page” > “Hidden Sensors” menu.

• Actuator Name This name will be displayed on the web interface. The text field is limited to 20 characters.

• Actuator Description This text is for informational purposes only.

• Depiction of the actor on the page Selecting the display page for the actuator.

• Delete this actuator (for remote actuators only) Use this button to delete the remote actuator.

"Display" tab

Tile Color Change When Turned On/Off The tile's background color changes based on the following two parameters.

• Tile Color Status: 'Off' Use the color picker to set the desired tile color.

• Tile Color Status 'On' Use the color picker to set the desired tile color.

• Color for the 'Off' state Use the color picker to set the desired color for the button.

"Calculation" tab

Note: This tab is only active in Expert View.

By enabling the calculation function, the sensor value can be scaled or offset. The expression can consist of up to two additions and two multiplications. The calculations only work with sensors that have been added via the I2C port. This means that power meter readings or readings imported from other devices cannot be included in the calculations. Alternatively, however, you can create a clone of readings that cannot be directly included in the calculation (see the “Duplicate Sensor” function in the “Functions” menu > “Virtual Sensors” > “+” button). You can then use this virtual sensor in your calculations.

• Enable / Disable Calculation Function Default = Disabled. Only readings from sensors connected via the I2C port and virtual sensors can be used. New value = (((Sensor value + Addition 1) Multiplication 1) + Addition 2) Multiplication 2

• Addition 1 Term for the first addition. Default = 0.

• Multiplication 1 Multiplier for the first multiplication. Default = 1.

• Addition 2 Term for the second addition. Default = 0

• Multiplication 2 Multiplier for the second multiplication. Default = 1.

• Calculate the average of the measured values [Off] Number of data points to be averaged. Default = 0 (no averaging).

"Information" tab

Note: This tab is only active in Expert View.

Display system information about the sensor, such as the chip ID used by the sensor and whether it is a native sensor or a remote sensor.

History of Sensor Data

Click the graph icon on the sensor tile in the lower-left corner to open the graph view. For each sensor, the measurement values from the last 72 hours can be displayed separately by day (today, yesterday, the day before yesterday), making it easy to compare them.

• Today / Yesterday / The day before yesterday Click the corresponding button to show or hide the graphs for each day.

• Auto-scaling When you click the "Auto-Scale" button, the scale is based on the actual minimum and maximum values measured. Clicking it again restores normal scaling, meaning the scale is based on the upper and lower display limits.

• Double-click on the graphic Double-clicking the graph shortens the time period displayed in the chart with each double-click. You can move the display area by holding down the left mouse button and dragging the mouse pointer.

• Hover the mouse pointer over the curve When you move the mouse pointer over individual curve points, the corresponding value appears in detail in a text box.
