A sensor widget simply displays the last know value of any selected datapoint. This widget is useful to get a direct view on absolute values in live, with possibility to highlight conditions or re-code values to pass the information as fast as possible to whom needs it.

Create the widget

To do that, enter the condition and threshold value value, and leave the "Name" field empty.

Once save, pick the desired color for this condition by clicking on the condition color box. Don't forget to click on select to apply the color, and save the widget.

The value is colored according to the defined threshold and values.

Text condition

In the condition configuration, if a new value is defined in the "Name" field, the datapoint value will be overriden by this new value. For example, vibrations measure can be replaced by a text label like "Low vibrations" or "Status OK".

To do that, you can create a new condition or edit and existing one with the appropriate button.

And then enter a text label or value to override the datapoint value on the widget when the condition is filled.
