This is not a question, more of an idea for a dashboard specifically for the mobile app.
The mobile app (android) has two tabs. Local and VRM under the heading Device List.
Challenge: It is difficult to find the content all in one spot. Particularly if you cannot access the GX Touch console screen. VRM Portal is not particularly well formatted in a browser (and it polls data slower than glaciers move).
Add a Dashboard option. Let the available devices populate a series of widgets. And allow users to configure the dashboard with the widgets they want. The widgets will can connect via bluetooth or VRM Portal, whichever is available automatically. Data from VRM Portal should be close to real time. In a multi-cloud world these days, it isn't difficult to make this happen, at least for many of the important data points. (Bat Voltage, Solar, AC Input/Output, Inverter Mode, etc)
Widget Ideas:
- State of Charge
- Battery Voltage
- Current
- Power
- Consumed AH
- Time Remaining
- Solar Voltage
- Solar Watts
- Solar Current
- GX Touch Page 1
- GX Touch Page 2
Let users configure Widgets there way (meter, counter, graph etc). And make this dashboard cloud configured. Meaning allow the Dashboard configuration to be stored in the cloud for this user so they don't need to reconfigure next time they reinstall app.
Make the Dashboard configuration a responsive design and therefore usable through the mobile app, and any HTML 5 browser. This will allow users to configure one way and still access it any way that is convenient.
If any one widget is offline line, indicate it as such, grayed out with offline in text below.
I recognize this is a considerable amount of work, but this will help users access the information that is important to them quickly and easily.
