Automatic or fixed Y-axis (temperature) range #45

Open Quaxo76 opened 6 years ago

Quaxo76 commented 6 years ago

It would be nice to have an option to configure the y-axis range (especially on the main graph, but also on the smaller ones); maybe an option to leave it to automatic, or manually set a range with minimum and/or maximum temperature... The same goes for the "green zones" on the long term graphs. Ideally these should be configurable from the web page, but a config file would do as well. This would also avoid the "compressing" effect of spurious spikes...

I'm going to create some form of config file for various requests then allow this to be editable in app, so that will fit in nicely. The compressing effect #9 needs a proper fix and is WIP!

Adding one more idea. Once we have selectable auto- or manual- ranging, what about adding checkboxes to choose which sensor's data gets drawn on the main graph? This way, keeping auto-ranging on, we could select, for example, just the incubator's sensor, so that the range is narrow and we can fully appreciate small temperature changes; or we could select for example an indoor sensor and one from outdoors, to see how external temperature affects the inside environment, or the working of the furnace... :) Smaller graphs could keep recording all sensors.

If you click the sensor name on the main chart, it already toggles the display of that line. Is that what you mean?

Quaxo76 commented 6 years ago

Ah yes, that's exactly it. I didn't know you could do that. Perhaps a checkbox next to the sensor name would be more intuitive? Anyway, even the autoscaling works perfectly, that's exactly what I meant. Thanks.

Toby, I see you closed this, but actually the issue was about the addition of a selectable auto-range or manual-range for the graph... then I hijacked the thread (my bad) with the additional idea of selectable sensors. My bad. But if I'm not mistaken, the original issue still stands, so shouldn't this still be open?
