[Solved] Line chart in Dashboard not displaying true values

Using the Dashboard to track data from an iSpindel at 15 minute intervals.
Temp, Plato, Tilt, Battery are all direct data and work fine.
The Specific Gravity is a Synthetic variable derived from Tilt data.
My ‘Metric’ widget displays the Specific Gravity correctly, however the line chart does not (seems to have a fixed input of 1.01). As you can see from the attached screenshot, I am using the same variable (gravity-sg) for my line chart as I do for my widget. It has worked previously using the same settings.
I am starting to think the chart is only showing 2 decimal places and rounding up to display 1.01 ? my line chart is set to display 4 decimal points so ???

@ubidots Same here for at least 2 days ago. Was working fine for more than a month before for that same widget…

Yes, It is definitely a “Decimal Places” issue. My line charts are tracking the data, but only to 2 decimal places. Temporary workaround - On one of my devices (I have 2 iSpindels) I have created a synthetic variable called SG Chart. It is basically my specific gravity multiplied by 1000. Changed my chart axis to use the new variable (SG Chart) and read from ‘1065 to 1008’ instead of ‘1.065 to 1.008’ - It now creates the chart as it used to.

Good day @peredestroy and @d146895x,

Please receive our apologies for the delay in replying to this note.

Thank you for letting us know about this behavior. I’m already making some tests from my side to identify if there is anything out of place with the decimal places in the line chart widget. I will come back to you later to let you know my findings.

Best,

Good day @d146895x and @peredestroy,

Thank you for your patience while I was reviewing this case. Can you please make sure to have in your account’s Decimal places a value of decimals equal or higher as the specific gravity decimal places, such as 5? For example in @d146895x account, the value of the decimal places is 2 and as a result of this, our backend is approximating the values in a way that, after rounding, they look the same. Now, after this change, you should see the line chart as expected.

All the best,
-Isabel
