    I am sorry, I read the instructions at least six times and skimmed by the section:

    Also copy HomeSeerAPI.dll, HSCF.dll and Scheduler.dll from your Homeseer HS3 root directory to this directory. The
    plugin will crash if these are not in the directory!
    If setup correctly, you should have 7 files in this directory.

    I did two of your other addins just before that and glossed over it as a no brainer.

    Incidentally I did not copy them I created hard links. I recommend it as you will not have to remember to fix versions after an update.

    Thanks for great work!

      Maybe I am missing something, but how do you set the labels of the values on pie charts and bar graphs. Do you pass an array to the data?

      For example I am looking to add a pie of all electrical draws currently labeled by source.

      Or a line graph by 15 min intervals showing main power usage labeled with times.

        Hi Stubborn

        Can you please provide some detail as how you did the hard links, it sounds like a great idea.

          Labels have to be fixed. Option number 265 is an example which you can use to modify under your own options number in the Jon00DashboardOptions.ini

            Overview of hardlinks in NTFS:

            There are many apps to help with this, I have a local copy of NTFS Link I got years ago. Looks like there is a newer branch here:

                Is it possible to add something else than text (or current value) to "Title" and "Title1", like a device string?

                  No, it is text only.

                    It would have been nice to display a custom string of daily max/min for example, but that's no big issue at all. I'm really happy with how the gauge is looking on my wall tablet.

                      There is no database with this application and is designed to show current values only (which is what a dashboard display would do).

                        I'm keeping track om daily high/low using virtual devices. If it would had been possible to send a device string or such I could have passed the info this way. But the gauge might had been too crowded anyway. Less is more.

                        A thought I got was to keep dashed lines marking High and Low, but I understand you are limited to the API you're using so this was just an idea.

                          I don't mind adding replacement tags (as used for the charting) for the titles, however you may need to wait. I did start to update this package to provide additional dashboard components earlier in the year. The trouble is that I stopped when I went on vacation and now not sure where I am with it. My intention was to look at this over Christmas when I have some time off.

                          BTW, do you mind showing screenshots of your wall tablet?

                            Sound great with the coming update. No rush at all.

                            I will fix a screenshot of my tablet. Just need to finish the last gauge.
