@mxtommy KIP instrument display webapp for Signalk
Hi there! I am a very happy user of KIP for a year now and tine has come to start creating new pages woth sensor to be displayed. I was not able to find how to insert a new page between two already created. Is it possible or the only way is to add at the end? how to reorder them then?
Thanks in advance

Think I found a bug in how Kip displays charge data. 

I have a node-red setup to monitor my batteries, and one key metric I monitor is the total amp hours reported by all 6 of my lithium batteries. Node red sums these all up, and sends them to the SignalK delta self.solar.battery.capacity  with the meta set to {"units": "Ah"}.   When I try to monitor this metric in Kip, the radial dial shows C (coulomb) in the center, and the correct number of Amp Hours, but if I change the Display format in the radial dial settings to show Ampere Hours instead, the dial is at 0, but it shows Ah in the center (if I change decimal places from 0 to 2 in the settings it shows 0.32, when it should be showing 1140Ah (1248Ah total capacity in my bank) .

This is not a bug.

SignalK does not work like that, SignalK always uses SI units.  The SI unit of charge is the coulomb.

The correct way  is to send the value to in coulombs ( C ), then translate in KIP to Ah.   Couloumbs is the SI unit of charge,  Ah is  one of may human readable display formats. SK will always have SI units and then you tranlate to whatever human readable form you want in KIP.
