Data From Field​

This field allows you to set the device and variable that will be used in this widget.

Data From field example

Click on the cog icon to edit specific options for this variable, such as formulas, color, and more. Click on the close icon to remove this variable from the widget's data.

This field is dependent on the type of dashboard you are using; the difference is explained below.

1.1 Normal Dashboards​

From the option 'Data From' on the right menu, select one device from your list of devices and the variable that contains the data.

1.2 Blueprint Dashboards​

From the option 'Data From' on the right menu, add the Blueprint device and input the name of the variable that contains the information.

When using a Blueprint dashboard, the field Variable will not list variables to be picked because it doesn't know the devices linked to your Blueprint Device.
