How to change color of the gauge node?

Hi all:
I'm using typ Gauge of the node and want to change the colors depending on some conditions befor the node.
E.g. temp1>temp2 ... all colors are red
temp1 <=temp2 .... all colors are gray

Any idea hoe to implement?

Are you using the old (now deprecated node-red-dashboard) or the newer @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard? For the new one the help text for the node tells you how to change the segment colours by sending in a message, assuming that is what you are describing. I don't know whether it is possible on the old dashboard.

Hi Colin, indeed all may flows are based on node-red-dashboard instead of @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard. So I installed it and learnd to run both in parallel does not work. I found the information when I simply replace node-red-dashboard then some nodes will not work anymore.
I'm afraid I will distroy my extensiv and complicated flows >>> for the moment ... no way.
Too bad :frowning:

That is not correct. They should run together without problems. I run both at the same time, and others have done that while moving to the new one. What errors are you seeing?

Hopefully you have got everything backed up securely, so the worst is that you would have to restore the files.

Have everything backed up!

What I have experienced:

  • I've moved the gauge-node into the work area.
  • Tryed to allocate it to a Tab/Group
  • However none of my groups popped up in the group window.

Did you notice that you have to use a different url for the new dashboard. The default is IP:1880/dashboard for the new one. The two dashboards are completely separate.

It is IP:1880/ui for the old one.

will try .... thanks!

Also the widgets are completely seperate. You cannot copy or move a DB1 gauge onto the DB2 dashboard.

So far it works ... thanks for help.
Means I have to build a complete new dashboard .... will keep me busy the winter time :wink:
