Features- Themes – Colours of text, headers, graphics, graphs can get changed.
- Display from one sensor graph only, to two sensor graphs with an extra sensor column.
- Choose which sensors you want to show as graphs, and for how long the graph should span over.
- Or instead of graph(s) a small web window can be shown which can be used for whatever you like. Can be used for Windy.com for local forecasts as an example (see screenshots)
- History for all sensors in the form of Graphs throughout each day. Simply tap the value on screen to see history for that given sensor
- Data older than x days (customizable) will be converted to min/max value of the day to conserve space on the tablet.
- Keeps the devices backlight on, so that it can truly work as a weather display
- Customizable alert system, that lets you chose on which sensors and when you want to have alerts from them. Get alerted once a day when wind gusts hits 20 m/s, or get alerted with sound when outdoor temperature goes below 32 fahrenheit
- Different units for different sensors
- Android support all the way back to Jelly Bean (Android 4.1)
- Get alerted on low battery for your sensors
- No cloud or internet access required for this app to work (other than downloading it from the play store). All data is stored on your tablet locally!
AlertsAlerts can be set of your choice, on what sensors and what value the sensor should go below/over before the alert is triggerd. The color on the dashboard can be changed when triggered along with which sound to be played with the alert. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
HistoryDetailed history from each sensor is stored in a local database on your tablet. Once 7 days passes (can be changed) the data is archived with less detail, to save space on the tablet. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I've taken the liberty to charge a 25 DKK for the app, which is just below 4 dollars. I hope that is okay, as I've used quite some time on it.
Known issues / ToDo- Scaling accross devices might not work correctly, and some things may not show correctly. This is something I can only fix by trial and error since I only have a few devices to test it out on my self. If you experience any issues, let me know your tablet model and i can try and fix it
- The application is required to run in the foreground to log updates to history and have the alert system alert the user. It will in time be moved to a service, so that the user doesn't have to have it open
- Landscape support only - Might look at support for portrait, however this was never the intention
- Bugs. There will be some, as its an early version and I'm the only one who has tested it, which surely isn't enough. And its my first app!
