Hi, I see that the original Dashboard 1 is deprecated, what does this actually mean, will it stop working ? , I have installed the new Flowfuse dashboard-2 but my gauges will not work on it, is there a way to get them working ? Thanks

Hi, I have only tried using my D1 gauges in D2 but they don't work, will need to spend some time on it to see if I can get them going, if D1 is not going anywhere though I think I should be safe for a while, Thanks for all replies Stuart

[image] acestu: my gauges will not work on it, is there a way to get them working ? Unfortunately, you will need to build something new. You can, however, run UIBUILDER, D1 and D2 on the same Node-RED instance. So you can take your time to build your new UI. Avoiding this kind of thing is on…

[image] acestu: have installed the new Flowfuse dashboard-2 but my gauges will not work on it Do you mean that you expect the D1 gauges to display directly, or that you have changed the gauges to D2 gauges and still they do not work? If the latter then check the help text for the gauge node…

[image] acestu: will need to spend some time on it to see if I can get them going D1 gauges don't work with D2. You need to replace the gauge in the flow with a D2 Gauge. See Getting Started | Node-RED Dashboard 2.0 for more information.

Hi, My gauges are not the standard gauges they are custom ones. Thanks

Do you mean ui-template nodes or one of the contributed D1 node types?

[image] acestu: My gauges are not the standard gauges they are custom ones If your gauges are custom and you found yourself primarily using ui_termplate nodes, you will likely be better off using UIBUILDER rather than D2.

Thanks Totally, I will look into this too Stuart

A while back I transfered all my UI-template nodes from D1 to D2 with the use of ChatGpt. Was a fun Saturday :wink: and great learning experience. After completing the first migration of a UI-template style (e.g. Gauge, Progessbars, Media-Controler) was done, it was easy to apply for all others

Hi Nexus, Interesting stuff will have a go, my gauges are the give away ones from Hotnipi which I tweaked a bit for my situation, they are fantastic looking gauges, I have no idea how they would have to be altered for D2 though, Hotnipi does do some gauges for D2 but they are not similar to the one…

I used a few styles from Hotnipi as well ans was able to migrate with slight change in visuals
