Real-time dashboard reference
Real Time dashboard
Find the current observation, stored summaries, and location-based context that can appear on the Real Time dashboard.
Dashboard content
The dashboard can include:
- the selected station and observation age;
- Station Map and Current Condition cards;
- current temperature, comfort, humidity, rain, lightning, evapotranspiration, wind, pressure, solar, UV, air-quality, and indoor measurements;
- additional current cards for compatible extra sensor channels;
- current-day high, low, total, or peak values when stored summaries are ready;
- Sun Cycle and Moon Cycle for stations with valid coordinates and time-zone information.
Exact cards depend on provider fields, installed hardware, station coordinates, and the current stored-data context. See Real Time card reference for the card catalog.
