REQUEST NEW FEATURE - Date in the Custom Gauge

[Surjeet]

I want to know if this is possible to be added by the Developers:

When we select Item Type: Gauge and Select Type: Custom, Date sensor disappears from the list.

If we can add /have Date for this selection too as that will help to add Calendar or amazing date effects to the Sensor Panel:

It would be good if we can only have the Date Number Sensor added from 1 - 31 and AIDA can fetch it from the date.

If this is doable then hopefully we can also have sensor for Month Number from 1-12  or Month Name like "January", "February" etc. or "Jan" "Feb" etc. 

 

@Fiery: Would need your help to get this request/topic addressed or answered.

Thank you in advance and look forward to your continued patronage!

I have tried many times to try and find a trick to make a calendar with no success.

I would like this feature also.

Having seperate "sensors" for date, month, and year in different layouts (OCT, October, 10, 2024, 24, leading zero for date and month) - either as "Simple sensor item", "Sensor item", and "Gauge".

That would be a massive improvement for building new and more interesting sensor panels!

So, that change request is very much appreciated - and from my perspective as a DevOps engineer not much of an invest (time and budget) 😉

Cheers.

@Fiery This message was also lost somewhere and never addressed. Please let us know if this is possible and can be used?

@BHSY @JariKoi @COSTAJUNIOR What do you think regarding this request as it will help a LOT while making Custom gauges and present date/month etc. on the sensorpanel.

Using a custom gauge on date/month? Sorry, but I don't think it is necessary and sounds kind of weird to me. I was thinking more of creating a clock with a moving hand image using the custom (n states) gauges.

I tried yesterday but failed.😅 I have successfully created hr/mins using the custom (16 states) in the past but it involves a lot of sensors. I'm still trying out on the new (n states).😅

I Understand. Thank you for your transparent feedback and suggestion 😍

Think on the lines where your watch / clock can display like this too  It will be MIND BLOWING as you are champ in such amazing creations 😍

Please give it another thought please 🙏

PS: This topic is followed by 6 people so I thought lets give it a try as its kinda Hot Topic 🔥

Hmmm..... It does look nice to design something like that since I like dial gauges. Now, I am intrigued. I take back what I said earlier.😁

Hi @Fiery, is it possible to implement dates as gauges as mentioned by @Surjeet?

Thank you for your re-consideration

I also got a notification that @COSTAJUNIOR quoted me on this topic; however, I am unable to find his message. Would love to see the feedback if this feature is worth to be implemented!!

Hey! I also found the idea interesting and fully support the implementation of this new feature. I've developed a few projects in this style, but I noticed that the saving process became quite slow due to the large number of states created.😉

[JariKoi]

I personally don't see this as necessary. But of course, make such a sensor if it becomes possible.👍 I suspect that the panel will start lagging. I probably won't be creating such a day or clock sensor myself. Or at least that's what I think at the moment. 

For example, if we were to use flipclock for temperature, we would need at least half a degree to be in use. For the time, it's almost the same thing so that the clock's time flip looks neat. I personally can't think of any other reasonable explanation for how to get the flip clock working.🤔

I must say that quite a few good development suggestions have come in now, and some of them have already been implemented.👏☺️ Thank you for your continued development and for providing new ideas.🫶

[Surjeet]

I agree that using multiple states for clock/time can be resource consuming.

 

However, for Days and Months only 31 images for Days and 12 images for Monthly names/numbers will be required which is very less as compared to 101 images we use for custom gauges.

Mine main request is basically to add Date Days (1-31) and Month Number/Text (1-12 ; Jan - Dec) to be added to Custom gauge sensors as both of them will help a lot to create Calendar, Date, Month etc view to be created with ease  With these two sensors, visualizations will be endless to be crafted on the sensor panel.

Well, now this clarifies for me too what you were after.😁 This isn't a bad idea at all if @Fiery can pull it off.🙇‍♂️

It's a huge can of worms to be honest.  Everyone seems to have a different idea on how would they like to see the date, time and portions of it (e.g. day of the month, day of the week, week of the year, hours, minutes, seconds, various formatting of month index or month name, etc) formatted on the SensorPanel.  We're a bit vary of starting to go down that path, since it very quickly could escalate into a 100+ new sensor items just about the date and time...  Don't take this as a hard no, but we definitely would need to narrow this down to a manageable set of new sensor items that would cater to most of your needs.

Regarding Date: I completely AGREE as date/time is a VAST field and everyone wants to see it as per their choice. This field has bad reputation for every database across world

I was thinking to keep it simple:

Date: 01 to 31 

Month: 01 to 12 OR Jan to Dec

With only these two sensors we can use 31 images to show date and 12 images to show the Month Value. We can even make custom gauges, number gauges, calendar etc.......... Its okay if this can not be added as I totally RESPECT your message and in sync with it completely!! 🙇

Christmas came early… and it brought you with Santa and happiness
Once again, you’ve outdone yourself - truly, completely, breathtakingly perfect....Perfect....PERFECT .....PERFECTION!!
Every detail, every touch… it’s magic.
I’m honestly in awe. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. 🎄❤️✨

Thank you  I know it's not everything one can imagine for date customizations, but hopefully a good start.

O-M-G! Day, month, and year! Thank you, thank you so much! I can create clock hands using custom (n state) and now I can create date gauges. I-AM-SO-HAPPY!. Thank you!😀 

Also, thank you to @Surjeet for suggesting the date gauges. I didn't think it was possible. Thank you! 😀 

[Surjeet]

With such an amazing feature added, I was just thinking if is it possible to split time to 

Hour: 1 to 24 or 1 to 12 with AM/PM
Minutes: 1 to 60
Seconds: 1 to 60

Just a curious idea floating in my head... 😇

I was just thinking and just food for thought and point to discuss  

If something like this could be set in motion someday, imagine the possibilities - we could even build chronograph-style watches (which I’m a huge fan of, by the way!). 🕰️✨ @BHSY will definitely nail it I know

@Fiery No that we are becoming GREEDY day by day - just a playful idea for now. Please don’t kill me for this, brother! 😅🙏

This is music to the eyes of those who live for creating creative SensorPanel interfaces! With these new date sensors, we can now turn any skin into a living panel that breathes real-time data. Imagine a dashboard that dynamically changes with the day of the week or stylishly displays the month’s name — it’s like giving the layout a soul. Congrats on this addition, AIDA64 is becoming more and more powerful for those who see design as functional art. Now it’s time to play with time!

Thank you so much for listening to the community and evolving the software with such care! ❤️

I tried the new date gauge sensors on my existing panel skin that came with the clock hands, and I love them. Thank you so much for implementing the date gauge sensor.🥰

Now I'm waiting patiently for the Hour, minute, and second sensors to be implemented so that I can replace the old time gauge sensors, which use four sensors for hours and 15 sensors for minutes using the (n states). 😋

The project is turning out great! But with that many states, isn't the save process getting heavier or taking longer than usual?
