Hey everyone! Remember our Gauge Custom Tiles release? Well, we’ve got something even better for you now - native gauges for Super Tiles are now available!
Options include: Default¹, Thumb, Needle, Triangle, or None
Needle variations: Regular, Short, or Threaded
Triangle options: Inner or Outer
Customization Options
Min/Max/Step: Defaults to 0-100 with 1-step increments, but fully customizable
Segments: Create custom colored gauge segments
Read Only: Set to read-only by default. Change to ‘Gauge’ in the Action setting for interactive mode
¹ Note: The ‘Default’ pointer adapts based on gauge type, presence of custom segments, and read-only configuration.
Give It a Try!
We’re excited to see what you’ll do with these new gauge options. Have any thoughts, feedback, or cool setups you want to share? Let us know in the comments below!
A couple things. I cannot make the minimum go below zero. Where I’m from, we do get negative temperatures… Uggh.
I’ve played around a bit. I’d like to be able to make the gauge itself transparent and only use the needle. That way I could put the needle (whole gauge really) over my guage face. I could draw a guage face without a needle.
I can get it to line up nicely, I can’t get rid of the arc or circle.
I’m not sure what makes this tick, but I’d also be happy to to draw some vector gauge faces…
It’s likely the formatting / number parsing. Typing the negative symbol while the zero is in the minimum field would result in -0 which would parse to 0.
So type your desired value and the add the negative sign in front of it. Eg. type 10 first and then add the - in front of it.
You should be able to customize the segments and use a transparent color for your custom segment, then customize the gauge to use a needle for the ‘Pointer Type’.
It looks like something about the transparent colors isn’t working with the gauges though, so I’ll take a look at that.
If you are looking for advanced customizations, using one of the Gauge Custom Tiles as a baseline is probably a better starting point.
Here’s a video demo on how to use Gauges in Super Tiles.
I was a bit amped up on a Monster Energy Drink, so I was talking a bit fast, but you can always use the video controls to slow things down or pause as needed.
I’ve pushed out an update to properly support transparent and semi-transparent colors for the customized segments in gauges. Make sure to refresh the page to pull in the latest updates.
This looks promising as a Super tile for data visualizations. What determines (limits?) the ability to expose additional attributes some sensors might already make available via the Hubitat driver that they operate with?
Hello, I have found that you cant enter decimals in the gauge Max/Min or Segments. Becomes a bit problematic for certain things like battery voltages where the Max and Min are only a few digits apart.
I just pushed an update which should make it easier to enter negative numbers and decimal numbers for the Gauge settings. Make sure to refresh the page to pull in the latest updates.
Hi Josh, Great addition -
I have been creating a new Super Tile with more than one gauge, but the measurement font size seems a bit random, ion both the design phase and when displaying in the dashboard as shown in the image.
Is there anyway of controlling the font size?
Also the font color would be useful as it tends to get a bit lost with the pointer
