Hi folks, when i try to create a custom widget for the VRM portal, I want to have the “state of charge” values on the left Y-axis and the other values on the right - just as it is in the preview.
However, when I save it, the widget appears with the Y-axes and the order of the parameters swapped.
I cannot find a way to have the “state of charge” on the left. Any ideas why that happens and how I can avoid it?
Cheers!

Make SOC your first parameter in the widget. It should then go left and the rest right.
That´s what I did. In the preview it is correct. When saving, the order gets changed.

Unfortunately it sorts them alphabetically, so you’re a bit stuck.
You could create a virtual device, using the shunt as a source, that is alphabetically lower than “smartshunt” and use that instead as the source.
Bit of a schlep though.
It is not alphabetical - I added Voltage and it moved to first position and to the left side.

On mine it is. But your top 2 devices have different device names, the second has [277] in the title.
It is only with “Current” - in this case the “blank” before [277] is missing - for the othe parameters it is there, and then [277] is dropped. But still - the sorting is not alphabetical, as you can see in the screenshot with “voltage” in it.

Hang on, my bad. Used a wrong example to test a widget. It is sorting them in the order they are listed when selected.
I repeated it with my BMS and shuffling them around resulted in the same order which matched the original drop-down for the device.
Ok, thanks - that´s unfortunate - but I will simply put SOC into another widget. Thanks for your effort anyway
