Hi Ian (if I may!), Love the new console emulator. It does exactly what I was trying to do with a display using the Steel Series gauges, but it looks much nicer as a console. The only issue I have is in the charts. I would prefer a chart of the indoor temperature, and I don’t really need the VPD. I’ve been looking at how to do that. It doesn’t seem like there would be anyway except by modifying the python code, and I am a bit hesitant on tackling that, as I got a little lost in the code. It doesn’t seem like there is anything that can be done in the skin.conf, or am I missing something?
