HP Gas wellhead

This widget belongs to the High-performance SCADA oil & gas bundle — a collection of components for building interactive high-fidelity SCADA dashboards for upstream and midstream oil and gas operations on ThingsBoard.
It represents a gas wellhead — the assembly of valves, spools, and fittings (commonly called a Christmas tree) installed at the surface of a gas well to control flow and provide isolation. The widget shows whether the well is currently open and producing gas (running state), and highlights warning or critical conditions with configurable colors and a blinking animation. Use it on well monitoring dashboards, gas field management systems, or production control applications to track well status, surface valve fault alarms, and shut-in events, and navigate to per-well detail views with a single click.
Key capabilities

Custom action
Runs custom JavaScript on click to implement any behavior not covered by the built-in options. Use it to make HTTP requests, open custom dialogs, call other widget APIs, or interact with external services. The function receives:
$event,widgetContext,entityId,entityName,additionalParams,entityLabel. -
Custom action (with HTML template)
Same as Custom action, but also renders a custom HTML panel or dialog when the symbol is clicked. The function receives an additional
htmlTemplateparameter:$event,widgetContext,entityId,entityName,htmlTemplate,additionalParams,entityLabel.Parameter Description Resources External scripts and styles loaded before the action runs. CSS Styling for the HTML template. HTML Layout of the rendered dialog or panel. JS Action logic. -
