Since nofossil introduced the widget tools I have had some time to play with them. There is a lot of cool thing that can be done with them including Christmas trees with temperature sensors like in Nofo's Christmas greeting on this forum. I started with a gif background that Nofo created when we were designing the system, then added dials that show sensor readings and placed them on the drawing in their proper location. Three bar widgets were layered in the 500g tank to show different layers with text widgets showing temperatures. Light widgets were used to show when circulators are in operation.
For fun I set up a light with a nimbus control and a webcam looking at the light. The webcam stream is embedded into the main web page. The switch widget to the left of the webcam can turn switch on to 80 percent brightness. When switch is turned off a timer counts down the analog output delivered to the light and the output drops from 80 percent to zero. Somewhere around 35 percent the light turns off. Click it and watch it change live. At least until it gets moved.
As nofossil noted before use chrome,safari, or firefox to view, will not work with explorer.
