See [Template ui-template | Node-RED Dashboard 2.0](https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/nodes/widgets/ui-template.html) for how to use watch in a template.

In future when posting please paste the code in line as described in [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)
