Digital Input

What it shows

The live on or off status of your digital inputs, such as door, alarm or switch signals.

Where to find it

Open Dashboard, click the pencil in the dashboard top bar to enter edit mode, click Add New Widget, search the picker for Digital Input, then click Add Widget.

Reading it

Each row is one input. It shows a connection icon (Connected or Disconnected), the input's name, its id, and a toggle reading ON or OFF. The header counts how many inputs are switched on for display, for example 3 active.

The tile re-reads the site every 5 seconds, and grows or shrinks itself as you enable inputs.

Settings

Open the spanner icon on the tile:

  • Title - the name shown on the tile. Starts as Digital Inputs.
  • Below it, one row per input. Tick the box to show that input on the tile, and type into the name box beside it to give the input a name of your own. Leave the name empty and the tile shows the input's own label.

Tips

Name each input for the thing it is wired to, not its channel number, so the tile reads plainly for anyone.

If the tile reports Could not retrieve digital inputs, the logger did not answer. Check that the site is online, then reload the dashboard.
