Horizontal individual allergy index (IAI) card

Who it’s for

Allergy sufferers, public health managers, and outdoor event organizers ask “can I compare allergy index across several stations without losing the severity colors?” The horizontal layout is ideal for dashboards where vertical space is limited and multiple location readings must share a narrow column.

What it does

A sensor reporting IAI_level = 4.1 displays the color-coded index in a wide, low-height card: green for Good (0–2), light green for Moderate (2–6), orange for Elevated (6–9), and red for Hazardous (above 9). The horizontal format lets you stack many sensors in a narrow sidebar without scrolling.

• Live IAI reading with color coding across four severity bands
• Compact horizontal layout fits more monitoring locations in a narrow column than a square card
• Shows one sensor’s reading per widget; stack multiple widgets to display a full location network in a single sidebar

How to set up

Data keys

Key	Role	Type	Description
IAI_level	Main value	Timeseries	Individual Allergy Index value (unitless); change the key name to match your device’s telemetry key

The widget ships with a simulated function datasource key labeled IAI, so it draws random values until you point the datasource at a device and rename the key.

To point it at your own device: open the dashboard in edit mode, open the widget’s Datasources, pick the entity or entity alias, and replace the function key with the key your device reports.

Value ranges

Range	Level	Color
0–2	Good	Green
2–6	Moderate	Light Green
6–9	Elevated	Orange
9+	Hazardous	Red

How to customize

• To change the severity thresholds — edit Icon color ranges and Value color ranges; set the same boundaries in both so the icon and the number always agree.
• To change the band colors — edit the color of each range in Icon color ranges and Value color ranges.
• To add a units label — set a custom Units label in the widget settings to indicate the index scale to end users.

Tips

• Stack horizontal IAI cards for parks, schools, and sports venues in a sidebar next to a map so health managers can see which locations are elevated while keeping geographic context in view.
• Label each card with the monitoring location name so public health advisories can reference specific venues rather than abstract index values.
• Pair this layout with IAI chart cards to let health managers drill into the trend at any specific location from the same dashboard.
