Thanks, I really appreciate. I've since been using the node, but I didn't know it had other options.

Hello, ive been trying to control my nodered ui via IOT. I've tried blue mix, bUT couldn't find my way to switch on my device; I could only get the sensor readings.  
These are my screenshots:

How can I make others control my switch via IOT?

i know this is an older thread, i plan on doing a tank monitoring myself however i need help making a different widget that actually is a picture of the tank and the level rises in the tank for ease of visual and the color of water level will change from blue to red depending on the temperature.  
I have no programing nor html training so figuring this out has been difficult because everything i read on custom widgets is type in your html code.  
any suggestions or links you can send privately if you choose to i don't want to troll in on a great thread.  
Cheers,  
9toe jack

OK start a new thread.

Then put some thought into breaking your stuff down into manageable chunks

Hardware  
Data collection  
Presentation

Tackle each one at a time and show us what you have tried so we can give some pointers along the way.
