Dashboard - Edit Displayed Measurements

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Dashboard - Edit Displayed Measurements

Post by KE5BM »

Good evening!

Maybe I suck at searching but I can't for the life of me figure out how to change what values are displayed on the Dashboard. Namely, my dashboard displays Wind Chill by default and I would like to change that to Heat Index once it starts warming up. Next to that is solar data and I don't currently have solar/UV sensors on my station and would like to utilize that block for something else. Can someone point me to a way to alter these tiles?

You'll have to change the index file and do some coding in the standards of the interface.
You will need to dive into the peculiarities of the interface and how the values are transferred to the HTML at runtime.
There is afaik no description on how to accomplish this (no wiki) so you'll have to read the code, understand and change.

[Edit:] And changing the interface is not a very handy thing to do because of updating CMX...

That's what I was afraid of. Thank you, Hans!
