Indoor humidity progress bar with background

Who it’s for

Facility managers, HVAC engineers, and building managers ask “where does the current humidity sit on the scale?” The background variant adds a full-card color signal to the progress bar so the comfort status is visible at a distance.

What it does

A sensor reporting humidity = 45% displays the value as a horizontal bar on a card whose background fills with the current comfort color: orange for Low (0–30%), green for Comfortable (30–60%), and red for High (above 60%).

• Full-card background color communicates comfort status at a glance from a distance
• Progress bar shows where the current value sits within the full humidity range
• Shows one sensor’s reading per widget; add multiple widgets to monitor different rooms

How to set up

Data keys

Key	Role	Type	Description
humidity	Bar value	Timeseries	Relative humidity in %; change the key name to match your device’s telemetry key

The widget ships with a simulated function datasource key labeled humidity, 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
0–30	Low	Orange
30–60	Comfortable	Green
60+	High	Red

How to customize

• To change the bar range — open the widget settings and adjust the minimum and maximum tick values (default 0–100%).
• To change the comfort thresholds — adjust the band boundaries to match your HVAC design specification.
• To change the background colors — edit the background color for each comfort band in the widget settings.

Tips

• On a wall-mounted building management display, the colored background gives staff an instant pass/fail read from across the room while the bar’s fill position shows how much headroom remains before the next band boundary.
• Use consistent comfort colors across all indoor environment widgets: green is comfortable, orange or red needs attention.
• Pair this widget with a temperature progress bar with background on the same row for a compact two-parameter comfort snapshot that works well on corridor-mounted status displays.
