Understanding circular data with our new Rose Chart Widget
In 1858. statistician and founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale, published an article about the Crimean war with a colorful graph that showed how an epidemic disease in the British army was responsible for more deaths than battlefield wounds. This graphic helped explain complex statistics clearly, simply and persuasively, contributing to smarter, more effective care.
Fast forward to today, Nightingale's Rose Chart has become a standard visualization to display stacked columns in a radial aspect. The most common application is perhaps in Meteorology, where it's used to illustrate wind speed and direction. You can now bring this powerful graph to your IoT application in just a few clicks.
👌 Custom style for your Dashboards & Widgets
If your customers love our drag-n-drop dashboards, here's a cherry on top: you'll now be able to come up with your own designs.
Besides Ubidots' customization options at the App branding level, you'll now see a CSS-like editor in dashboards and widgets settings, providing additional options to change their appearance, such as: rounded corners, drop shadows, font color and size, background colors, and more.
🧐 Analyze & transform your data with synthetic variables
You've been there. You've successfully deployed 100 temperature sensors at the client's premises. Data is flowing nicely from device to cloud, and your end-users can see it in real-time. Client is happy. Engineering team is happy. You're about to wrap it up... until someone asks if the temperature can be displayed not only in Celsius but also in Fahrenheit ?.
No need to panic — Ubidots has got you covered. No need to re-flash your firmware a hundred times; just create a synthetic Variable to compute new data:
This data transformation process can also be extended to statistical operations over a time frame (i.e., mean, sum, min, max, count, and more), alleviating excess micro-controller processing or firmware maintenance requirements.
💡📶 Manage thousands of devices with Device Groups
Scaling an IoT solution is not an easy undertaking, but Ubidots makes it easier for you. With Device Groups you can save time by performing batch operations all at once across thousands of devices, such as:
- Adding an entire Device group to an organization
- Creating global events to verify a trigger condition across all devices in a device group.
