It would be nice, when some values has additional display-trigger.
For example, only show if

  • bed is over XXX °C
  • nozzle is over XXX °C
  • CPU is over XXX °C
  • Usage is over XXX %

On some material - bed combinations, you need a specific bed temperatur for easy removing.
With this lazy-man-feature, i can easy watch at the head of Octoprint if it is time to go to the printer, without showing the temperaure all the time.

You could use the "Color change level"?

You could use the "Color change level"?

I am currently already using the mentioned option. However, I had hoped that with the new option I would not have to permanently display the temperatures. Freely according to the motto: Show only what is currently necessary.

Also, the option would be an easy and safe way to "capture" certain operating conditions faster.
For example:

  • Do I see an icon for Nozzle or Bed => Needs more time to cool down.
  • Do I see the symbol for CPU Temp? => Must pay attention to the board fan.
  • Do I see the symbol for CPU Load? => Must check the processes.
  • Is a symbol red? => (Injury) danger!
  • Is the bed still yellow? => I still have time for a coffee.

Specifically for nozzle and bed I would aim for the following display behavior:

  • Printer is idle and everything cold-> no symbol to be seen.
  • Temperature set (printing process/leveling) -> icon is displayed.
  • Printer idle, but temperature is still above a certain temperature -> icon is displayed.

My desired (three) color behavior:

  • Bed too warm for easy removal (> 40 °C) -> color: yellow
  • Nozzle too warm for changing (> 35 °C) -> color: yellow
  • bed/nozzle above touch temperature (>60 °C) -> color: red
  • everything else in default color

Now I have thought a bit further than actually intended.
What do you think about the whole issue?
