Widget reference

Plynx ships a wide widget set, but each widget has different sizing, resizing and firmware rules.

Read this page as a directory

Use this page to jump into the dedicated reference for each widget. The sidebar under Widgets lists every widget individually.

Shared canvas rules

Every visible widget snaps to the 8-column dashboard grid used by the app.
Default size and minimum size come from the app-side WidgetType model.
Resize mode can be none, horizontal, vertical or both.
Some widgets are display-only, some write to pins, and some are service widgets with no visible role on the final canvas.

What each widget page includes

Raw server/widget type name.
Default size, minimum size and resize behavior.
Firmware contract and app-side interaction model.
Related widgets that usually appear in the same dashboard flows.
