Idea behind the icons

thresholds

place thresholds

change threshold value & colors

arangement, change grid size if you have problems

Endelement

EmoncCMS - Elements

For me the best elements by far are those following…

  • Bar
  • Feedvalue
  • Threshold
  • Button
  • Led

Overall I don’t like the Emocms Dashboard / Editor, i think it’s big trash but we take what we get.
