some suggestions

[dgd]

Thanks Andrew. It will be good to see some further development of the Local App. I expect there will be lots of ideas and suggestions now that we have the KID and WBjr.

I looked at the localapp for first time in ages and it auto updated, thats nice!  as I just fitted the WBjr into my Epanel Lite and wanted to see how the local App dealt with it.
Nothing to do with WBjr but some suggestions for Local App changes, just my thoughts no critisism of local App or developers intended..

After seeing RossW's nice group of analogue ammeters on his PV arrays he made an observation that they give an immediate status of whats happening, I assume because its dead easy to just quickly visually scan them. This dashboard design of the LA is one of its most appealing features.
BUT why only one iteration at a time? If I have two or more Classics then I can only see one dashboard for one Classic at any time. It needs some fiddly poking at onscreen buttons to change between Classics.
This means its not possible to keep a screen showing two or more dashboards for different Classics and the easy visual scan of all their status is not possible.
So what about simplifying the LA?  One iteration of LA deals with just one specified Classic AND you can have several LAs running at once?
Why can the size of the dashboard screen not be expanded/contracted like a normal window?

Well, Here was me thinking requests get ignored but NOT SO.
A BIG thanks to the local app people (Andrew?) as we now have more than one iteration of the local app a reality.
I can now see on one Windows screen TWO local app dashboards running, one for each of my two active Classics.

Well done MN, you really do listen

The gauges would be a little weird to view in a list? Just my thinking. I am open to drawings or something of how you think looking at a bunch of Classics should look like.

On the resizing window thing, I can give you all the Android Version of the App compiled for Computer. It is not resizeable but it does scale to your screen, it will open small but you have to maximize it and it will be huge looking because it fills the screen size. Of course it has all the little bugs of the android version, and no charting or logs.

I agree, a list of guages would look weird.
The local app look good as it is. Several on a screen with different colours makes a nice easy-t0-visual-scan display.
The window resizing  would be nice but not using the full display size. Just would be nice to rescale but not really essential.

If a Classic has a WBjr connected then I was thinking how nice it would be to have several more analogue meters. At present lots of really good info is squeezed into the right top quarter of the text display box.
Perhaps in an extended area below the text box.

Three meters in same fashion as centre three on existing dashboard. Big middle one with BATTERY AMPS and its a centre ZERO meter with -100 to 0 to +100 amps. Nice if the actual scale was auto adjusting just like the present power meter. Starts at say 50-0-50 and auto adjusts 50A at a time to 100-0-100 then 150-0-150 etc up to a max of 400-0-400
Left meter smaller showing SOC% slowly incrementing/decreasing similar to existing energy meter
Right meter the battery voltage

Rather than duplicate battery voltage on main dashboard have input AMPS where Energy is and place Energy where Battery volts is. Also change name for battery amps to Output amps.

Sorry, so many ideas..
