Thanks for your video. Do you know why I get a message (404: Not Found) when I press "Open Dashboard" in the dashboard 2.0 tab. The old version works properly and a window with indicators is displayed.
Hi, thank you for the video's. I watched this one hoping you would talk about the input to the gauges, but unfortunately it was all about the gauge itself. I am new to this and I am finding it a nightmare to get information, I have a MQTT node connected to the broker and the topic is a tank sensor which sends temp, alarm, RSSI and depth in cm. I want the gauge to read the depth in cm, how do I separate this information from all the others, there is nothing in the MQTT or the Gauge nodes to select an Entity? Bob. UK
These gauges expect a number in msg.payload. It depends how your sensor sends information. It it is a single topic, most probably the message contains an object with temp, alarm, rssi and depth as separate attributes of that object. You can direct that to a change node, where you configure to: Set msg.payload To msg.payload.depth. But as I said it depends on how the data in MQTT looks like.
@@csongorvarga Hi, thank very much for replying. Yes the message is as you describe, under a heading of "Oil-SonicSmart" the message reads "678464281,"flags":128,"maybetemp":24,"temperature_C"8.333333."binding_countdown":0,"depth_cm":48,"protocol":"Watchman Sonic / Apolo Ultrasonic...." or at least that is all I can see of it as it runs off the window. Obviously I just need the depth part to go to the meter. I will try what you say and put a change node between the MQTT and the guage with the entry you suggest. Bob
@@csongorvarga Hi, thank you very much for replying. you are correct about the format, the message is as follows I couldn't get it all as you cannot copy and paste in MQTT Explorer.

I don't know what is happening here. I can see your comment in the notifications, but when I want to reply to it, it does not appear. RUclips comments is useless. It also deletes anyting with link or code in it.
Great video, thanks. I've started with dashboard 2 but finding it hard going at the moment. Appreciate these videos
Great overview - guess I know what I will be doing at the W/E :)
thank you for very good explanation and example
