Indoor simple PM10 chart card with background
Who it’s for
Facility managers, building managers, and indoor air quality specialists ask “can I see PM10 trend and severity at a glance?” The background variant combines a compact sparkline with a full-card color signal for wall-mounted displays.
What it does
A sensor reporting pm10 = 25 µg/m³ renders a compact sparkline-style trend line and the current value on a card whose entire background fills with the severity color: light green for Good (0–50 µg/m³), orange for Moderate (50–150 µg/m³), and red for High (above 150 µg/m³).
- Full-card background color makes PM10 severity readable across a room without reading the number
- Compact sparkline chart shows PM10 direction at a glance in a space-efficient layout
- Shows one sensor’s data per widget; add multiple widgets to monitor different rooms side by side
How to set up
Data keys
| Key | Role | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
pm10 | Chart series | Timeseries | PM10 concentration in µg/m³; change the key name to match your device’s telemetry key |
| Latest | Latest value | Timeseries | The headline figure above the chart. Its own color ranges are where the band colors are edited |
The widget ships with a simulated function datasource key labeled PM10, 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 (µg/m³) | Level | Color |
|---|---|---|
| 0–50 | Good | Light Green |
| 50–150 | Moderate | Orange |
| 150+ | High | Red |
How to customize
- To change the severity thresholds — edit the color ranges on the Latest data key.
- To change the background colors — edit the color of each range on the Latest data key.
- To rename the units label — change the Units field in the widget settings if needed.
Tips
- On a wall display, the colored background announces PM10 severity from across the room while the sparkline shows whether the level is stable, rising, or recovering.
- Use this card when you need both a trend signal and at-a-glance status in a compact footprint — for example, one card per meeting room in a corridor display.
- Use consistent severity colors across all indoor air quality widgets: light green is safe, red needs action.
