Problem displaying custom SignalK data in instruments pane.

[Tom H]

Hi,

I've set up a SignalK source that records bilge pump run time for the day and number of cycles in the day. The data is visible in signalK and the fields are available to set as data sources in the sensors setting, but the feilds don't show in the webapp or ios app. The section shows as do the current state of the pump and high level alarm. Anyone know why, and what I might have done wrong?

Hi, how do they show up in Signal K data browser? Can you send those screenshots as well, timestamps there are important so please include them too.

Does this cover what you're after?

Thanks, one piece of extra information, when you took this screenshot what was the time exactly? Here is what we suspect is happening. For Saillogger to display data, it needs to be "fresh". Fresh means max 90 seconds of age. I suspect these values are only published by Node Red when the bilge pump runs and probably were older than 90 seconds. So Saillogger will not pick them up, thinking they are stale. A quick test is to check Saillogger within a minute of these fields refreshing or having NodeRed publishing them regularly. Could you try that?

Thanks. My node red is only updating on changes, or every minute when the pumps are running. I'll change it to do updates every minute...

Which has worked... Thank you. I should have been less fastidious!
