Dashboard 2.0 is not backward compatible.

One of the joys, and big changes we made for of Dashboard 2.0, is that you don't need to separate and pre-format your data.

Instead of having multiple arrays, all duplicating data as you have it currently, you can just use the output from SQL directly, and have a single array containing the relevant data in each object, e.g:

```js
[{
    "DateTime": "2024-06-17 14:23:24"
    "Carbon Monoxide": 1
    "Oxygen": 20,
    "Light Intensity": 134,
    "Temperature": 29.3,
    "Humidity": 45
}, 
...]

```

Then, on the options of your chart, choose series type to be "JSON", and define each of your series there:
