Create a dashboard for each building

What a dashboard can display

You can display widgets for:

• Indoor
  climate statistics by floor

• Alarms
  : summary of active alarms

• Ventilation
  status at the facilities

• Calendar
  of operating hours and management of operations by facility

• Damper overview
  : air balance and damper openings per facility

Component Setup for the Dashboard

In order for Evolo to use your components in widgets, you must set their display type.

The Information dialog in the view builder displays all data points that are in use.

In the Components tab, you can link components in the view to widgets on the dashboard.

Here’s how to do it

1. Click the Components tab in the view builder; you must have the Installer role

2. Select the Measurement Type for each component you want to display

Create widgets

1. Create or open a view of the “Fixed Position” type.

2. Add the widgets you want to use via the side menu.

3. Go to view mode.

4. Verify that the widgets are displaying data.

Indoor Climate Widget

Displays a summary of the indoor climate in the building, including the average temperature and CO₂ level per floor. The colors provide a quick indication of whether the values are within the recommended range.

The widget uses the components you have set as the display type for indoor climate and has no settings of its own other than the name.

Alarms Widget

Displays a summary of active alarms in the building, grouped by priority. This lets you quickly see if anything requires attention.

Turn on "Show latest alarms" in the settings if you also want to display the most recent alarms.

Ventilation Widget

Displays the status of the ventilation systems in the building, including the controlled temperature and deviation from the setpoint.

Under “Data Mode,” you can choose whether the widget should display real-time data, data from the last day, or data from the last 7 days.

Calendar Widget

Displays the operating times for the calendar objects you select.
Under "Calendar Objects" in the settings, you can choose which objects the widget should display.

Controlling Operations from the Calendar Widget

The Calendar widget allows users to control operations directly from the dashboard—without access to the rest of the calendar. Anyone with access to the view can start or extend operations on the objects in the widget.

• Start an operation when an item is idle, or Extend an operation while it is running

• Select duration: +1 hour, +2 hours, until 10:00 PM, or for the rest of the day

• The change is a one-time event—the regular schedule remains unchanged

Dampers Overview Widget

Provides a comprehensive overview of the air balance. It shows the balance between supply and exhaust air, how much each damper is open, and a brief insight hint.

You can choose between two display modes:

• Overview
  shows only the dampers and the air balance

• Optimization
  highlights control dampers, sorts by opening, and provides a hint about fan pressure

To set up the widget:

1. Add a Damper Overview card in the view builder.

2. Add one or more supply and exhaust dampers.

3. Select Type (Supply or Exhaust), and give the damper a name if you wish.

4. Select a data point for Airflow (m³/h).
   
   Opening (%), Boost (%), Vmin (m³/h), and Vmax (m³/h) are optional.

5. Save.

Colors and Hints

Hover your mouse pointer over the question mark at the bottom of the card to see what the colors mean. A damper regulates best when open between 50 and 90%. Red means the damper is almost closed or almost fully open, and gray means it is closed.

Dampers set to minimum airflow—for example, at night or in empty rooms—may be at 10–20% and will appear red. This is normal.

In Optimization mode, the card provides a hint about the fan pressure, based on the damper with the widest opening.
