@aguspg I am trying to setup an indicator but basing it off ZERO is not what I need. I need to set it to a custom number in my case 104. How do I do this/
Really loving Ubidots so far but have barely scratched the surface.
Hi @Herner,
I’d recommend creating a “derived variable” with an offset, for example:
Derived_Variable = (your variable)-103
and then setting up an indicator that displays the new variable. We have a similar example here:
http://ubidots.com/docs/devices/rn131-171.html#scale-your-data-using-a-derived-variable
Let us know how it works!
Do I need to make a new sensor? I do not see a way to edit the one I have. I want to continue to graph temperatures as I have I just also want to do exactly as you suggested to show when it is is ON. Tks for the hlep @aguspg
Hi Herner, no need to make a new sensor. Just keep your current variable as it is, and then create a new one within the same data-source. Do this by clicking on the white box “Add new variable” and then checking the checkbox that says “This is a derived variable”.
You can continue to use your original Temperature variable in the dashboard graph, and use the new variable just for the indicator.

hanks for clearing it up I missed that derived button completely. Works like a charm. My engineering team will be most jealous tomorrow.
