Compass

1. Open the dashboard in edit mode. Click Add widget in the top toolbar, or click the Add new widget icon in the center of an empty dashboard.
2. In the widget bundle selection dialog, find and click Analogue gauges.
3. Select the Compass widget.
4. Configure the datasource and appearance, then click Add.

All settings in this section use Basic mode — a quick-start configuration covering the essentials. For finer widget controls like title font, card style, and tooltip, switch to the Advanced tab.

Select the source of the value to display:

• Device — a specific device; the compass displays the latest telemetry value from this device.
• Entity alias — a set of entities matched by an entity alias; use this when the target device is selected dynamically at runtime.

Add exactly one data key — the telemetry key whose value the compass will display. The value must be in the range of 0 to 360 degrees.

Controls the optional overlay elements on the widget card.

Compass Shows No Data

Cause	Solution
Wrong data key name	Confirm the key name matches the telemetry key sent by the device. Key names are case-sensitive.
Device not sending data	Open Devices → Latest telemetry and check for recent values. If empty, verify the device transport configuration and access token.
Entity alias resolves to no entities	Open Entity aliases in the dashboard and verify the alias returns results.

Needle Is Not Moving or Points to Wrong Direction

Cause	Solution
Value outside 0–360 range	Ensure the telemetry value sent by the device is in the range of 0 to 360 degrees.
Wrong telemetry key selected	Confirm the data key matches the key your device actually reports.

Value Shows as N/A or Stops Updating

Cause	Solution
Device has stopped sending telemetry	Check device connectivity and the last activity timestamp in Devices → Latest telemetry.
Wrong datasource entity selected	Verify the correct device or alias is selected in the datasource configuration.
