Chart Dashboard 2 undefined legend

[juntiedt]

I am ínitialising my chart with this lines of code:

node.send({ payload: [] });
node.send({ topic: "SZ", payload: 0 });
node.send({ topic: "AZ", payload: 0 });
node.send({ topic: "WZ", payload: 0 });
node.send({ topic: "BZ", payload: 0 });
node.status({ text: "chart initialisiert" });
return null;

unfortunately it shows a 5th color as undefined.
What I am doing wrong?

Your screenshot shows that other data are being sent to the chart. If you disconnect all wires to the chart except for the ones from your function do you still see the fifth one? If not then I suspect there is a message with no topic getting through.

If not that, does it change it if you add one of the valid topics to the first message?

Each payload you send with a topic is taken as a series, as one payload has an undefined topic it is taken as a new series undefined.

You can reset the chart using the msg.action replace and send all the reset data in one go. You add data by sending an object with same layout as reset data. The keys for the object is set in the chart config.

here is an example

I found the problem. There was a initialisation routine that send a value of 0 to the chart.
Thaks for the tips.
