Display Rain for last 24 hours in the dashboard

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Display Rain for last 24 hours in the dashboard

Post by grwkak »

Bit lost here - I can change the font size of titles etc, but would like to display the rainfall for the last 24 hours in the rainfall block in the dashboard.

Is there a list of "tags" available that can be displayed?

if you call http://<your MX URL>:<your MX port>/api/data/currentdata you'll get back a string of json, which should be fairly easy to understand even if you're not familiar with json, it's basically a set of name:value pairs. If you create an HTML element (e.g. a 'span') with an id the same as one of the names, the dashboard.js code will automatically substitute the corresponding actual value. Unfortunately, the rain in the last 24 hours is not currently one of the available items.

I've just uploaded build 3041, which adds RainLast24Hours to the json data available for the dashboard.
