update changed behaviour of P1 dial

[willemd]

I updated to latest Dashticz version today and as result my P1 dial that showed daily total before now showed actual value and was going in reverse.

I solved it by adding

values: [
{
value: 'CounterToday',
isNeedle: true,
scale: -1,
}
],

to the dial block definition.

But why did it change behaviour? Has the default behaviour changed?

The update also added back the incorrect unit display. It should be kWh.
So I had to adapt the block definition also to get that correct again. It now reads:

Code: Select all

blocks['P1_today'] = {
    idx: 1,
    title:'Grid today',
    type: 'dial',
    values: [
        {
        value: 'CounterToday',
        isNeedle: true,
        scale: -1,
        unit: 'kWh',
        showunit: true
        }
    ],
    min: -10,
    max: 10,
    decimals: 3,
    showring: true,
    showunit: false,
    shownumber: true,
    width: 4
}

There was some change in the code to make behavior consistent with other power devices, some functionality has been added.

The unit should be ok, I'll check.

Good that you found a way already to adapt it to your needs.
