Temp Controller Widget

Post by dtfeld »

I thought this was covered, but a while ago...and this may be in another forum. However, I can't find what I'm looking for.

Looking for a Temp Controller widget to replace the standard temp guages on the Main Control Page. Would like to display SV as well as PV and some radio buttons to change the temp would be great. Any body done/seen/herard of this being done? Can you point me the right direction?

Wouldn't think this to difficult, maybe it belongs in the future feature request pile.

Like JonW said, this feature will be in 3.7.0 when it is released.

dtfeld, you're already part of the Beta Testers group. You should be able to grab the beta firmware and check it out.

Well, you're half right. ;)

3.7 does have digital indicators that show set point and current temp. There is no same screen way to adjust your set point mid process in 3.7 though.

The closest thing available is here:

Be advised you'll not be able to use the PID style displays if you use the "new analog" thermometers and set point indicators. The Analogs still work 100%, however if you switch to the pid Temp0 shows as a blank circle.
