Create Widget Info in Dashboard - IoT Cloud API

daleonpz

Hi,

 

We're developing an application using the IoT Cloud API. 

We want to add to our dashboard a widget, where one can read sensor information. For example, something like this

 

 

_________________________________

|  Sensor Info:                                 |

|             Name:  Temperature       |

|             S/N:  1564897                  |

|             Vendor:  My Company     |

|________________________________|

 

 

I tried with Text type. This is my json structure in python

 

 

headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}

        payload = {

            "action": "create",

            "payload": {

                "dashboardId": dashboard_id,

                "name": "IO-Link-System Info",

                "type": 10,

                "metrics": [

                        {

                                    "Name":  "Temperature",

                                    "SerialNumber":  **Please do not post TeamViewer IDs**,

                                    "Company":     "my company"

                            }

                    ],

                "layout": layout_position

            }

        }

 

but I got an error response from the API.

 

I could create Chart widget, with no problem.

 

Could you give me some hints about how I create this type of widget with your API?

 

Thanks

Hi @daleonpz

It seems that the layout is not correct. Should be something like:

"layout": {
           "width": 2, 
           "height": 6
        }

Also, can you share the error message?

Regards,

Mircea
