Dumb Apex Question

Chemaholic · Oct 6, 2022

I am trying to customize my dashboard and I want to add some charts for things like the amps my return pump is pulling and pH. How do I go about doing that? I do not see any charts in the holding area up top and I cannot figure out how to put one there so I can drag it onto the dashboard.

Is this something I can only do locally?

No question is a dumb question when it comes to an Apex! I attached a few screenshots. I have too many things on my Apex dashboard to fit on one page. You can simply click on the EB832 to get different views. Not sure if that is what you are looking for.

I did not know that. That is cool!

No I am mainly wondering how to put a graph on there like the temp one you have or the flo one.

I just pulled the FLO graph off my dashboard so you can see it on the "shelf" on top. You need to hit the padlock button which will open the shelf of available items you can put on your dashboard. Simply drag the widget from the shelf to the area on the dashboard where you want it to display. You then hit the padlock button again to put everything back into display mode. I hope this helps.

This video does a great job of navigating the Apex dashboard and how to add/remove widgets

What is the thing I want on the Dashboard is not in the shelf?

That could mean a couple of things. Either you do not have a module/device that will do what you want to report on or the module/device hasn't been configured yet. For example, the flow widget in my earlier post gets added when a Neptune WAV Pump is added and configured.

What exactly are you looking for?

I wanted to graph the amperage being pulled by one of the eb832 outlets.

You can go to the input log and then select what devices/outlets you want to graph. I attached an example. You can also go to the EB832 Widget, and click to cycle through the different information screens until you get to the graph page (this is much smaller than the input log option). I also attached an example of that.
