CO2 Calibration confusing in Dashboard #146

Open MallocArray opened 6 months ago

MallocArray commented 6 months ago

I'm not sure if this is most appropriate here or in the Forums, since it seems to be more related to the Dashboard page.

Going to the Hardware page I can see all of my devices and when they were last seen: https://app.airgradient.com/settings/hardware

I see a column for "CO2 Calibration Requested" with a checkbox, but you cannot check the box here to request calibration. I think this is confusing as an end user, so if this is not supposed to be clickable, I think changing it to a Yes/No or True/False string would be better to understand.

I did find after poking around that if I click the three dot menu to the far right of a Monitor, I could select "Edit Location" and see another "Request CO2 calibration", which I checked and clicked Save. In the Hardware page, I briefly saw it checked, but clicking the blue Refresh button cleared the checkbox. After the first time I did this nothing updated on my sensor that I could tell, even though the checkbox had cleared. I still had incorrect numbers for CO2.

I tried it again about 5 minutes later, and maybe it did eventually work from the first attempt, but after requesting calibration a second time and going back to see the current values, it was updated.
