IDEAS: DASHBOARD BLOCK SUGGESTIONS Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

How about a block to display a video feed, either streamed of youtube (streamming) link.

I have been building a dashboard for my fish-tanks to show temperatures and light status, etc. I also have a webcam streaming so it would be great to create a dashboard with a frame to show that video.

Video would of course all be dealt with client side but for people who may want to create a dashboard like this for monitoring, or for remotely controlling something over the web, introducing an ability to view video in the dashboard could be really helpful.

How about for the chart block, adding the ability to have a log axis rather than linear?

I would like to have a selectable time axis in line charts without editing the dashboard.

I would like upvote buttons on this thread so we can indicate the popular ones

On graphs could we have threshold lines and average line / value

USer case i have a graph showing my fish tank temperatures. so being able to see if the temp is getting close to a threshold or being able to compare daily / weekly temps would be a nice touch.

Comparison graph would be nice as well. where you can plot two date ranges against each other, ie, plot this week's values and overlay last weeks. it would just need to be a tick box saying. "overlay with values starting from X days ago." So if your graph has a range of 1 day and you chose to overlay data from 7 days ago, you see a comparison with last weeks data of the same time.

I have a suggestion for the indicator block circle.

Can you add a latching option such that it can change state based on a received value. Then you can also add some reset logic or reset button. Current implementation seems to reset on next data received, which may not be needed in all cases. This will help in identifying historical events.

Thanks.

I would still like to see a "frame" block so we can imbed streams.

I set up a pi that both monitors the Tempture of my fishtanks but also stream a video. It would be really nice to be able to display the video on the dask board.

All it needs is the ability to create a frame of a set size and enter the URL either a static url or send it so you can switch the view between camara feeds..

Also with the BASE64 image block would it be possible to send the picture via a feed so we could at least send a picture at intervals?

The b64 image block can be linked to a feed during the block configuration.
