Visualization templates
Ready-made ways to show your data on Home, picked when you create the watcher — no HTML/CSS to write. Each one looks at your data and figures out what to show on its own; you don't need to tell it your field names in advance.
| Template | What it needs from your data |
|---|---|
| Key/value list (default) | Nothing specific — shows every field you send, as-is |
| On/off status | A field that looks like a state: true/false, exactly 0/1, or a common word like "on"/"off", "yes"/"no", "connected" |
| Highlighted numeric value | Any numeric field — shown big, with its name as a caption |
| Highlighted text | Any non-empty text field — shown big, with its name as a caption |
| Progress bar | A numeric field, treated as a percentage from 0 to 100 |
| Last update | Nothing — it only looks at when your most recent data point arrived, and turns red if it's been more than 15 minutes |
| Pill list | Nothing specific — same as the key/value list, shown as small rounded chips instead of a table |
| Total on-time (today) | Same on/off-style field as above — adds up how much time it's been "on" today, e.g. for something like a VPN connection |
| Top values ranking (today) | A text field — groups today's events by that field and ranks the top 5 by total time, e.g. which file was open the longest |
None of this is permanent: which template a watcher uses can't be changed after creation from the wizard, but you can always remove the module from Home and re-add it — or just create a second watcher pointed at the same idea with a different visualization.
Next: Managing one afterwards.
