Habpanel Knob round value

Andrew_Pawelski · June 12, 2018, 2:28pm

I am trying to display current power usage on a knob widget but need to format the value to round the decimals like you can on a dummy widget. Is this possible?

The knob widget as a min and max value
If you set the step as 1 then no decimal

I am using it as a knob to show power consumption so it’s read only and not adjustable

What is your item definition?

The Item is:
Group:Number:SUM gCurrentPower “Using Power [%.0f W]”

I get this:

I assume I am not formatting the raw group item, only the default for a sitemap.

You are formatting the group item. The formatting for sitemap happens in the sitemap.

Did you try to set the steps in the knob config?

Try setting the steps to 1. Does it work?

1 is the default

Then I don’t know, I am out of ideas…
Use a proxy item with a rounded value maybe…

Or look in to knob source and make your own widget:

Yeah that was my other option if I couldn’t work out how

Thanks for your suggestions

How did you get the color in the scale? Could you show the other tabs for the widget configuration? I’ve tried every combination but never get colors.

BTW, I also get decimals. This may be a bug, but would be a good feature request to add format to the Knob widget.

You can do a feature request on the habpanel github

I know… but I didn’t want to duplicate efforts if the OP was headed that direction… and feature requests are like potato chips, and I’ve got to keg some beer tonight!
