Right Drain Pipe

Right drain pipe SCADA symbol

This widget belongs to the Traditional SCADA fluid system bundle — a collection of pipe segments, fittings, valves, pumps, and gauges designed for building fluid system diagrams on ThingsBoard dashboards.

The Right drain pipe widget represents a horizontal pipe segment with the drain outlet on the right end. It indicates leak conditions based on real-time device data.

  • Indicate leak conditions on a drain pipe segment in real time.
  • Trigger a dashboard action when the symbol is clicked.
  • Apply custom colors to fluid and pipe elements independently.
  • Receive leak state data from device attributes, time series, alarm status, or dashboard state.
  1. Open the dashboard and switch to edit mode.
  2. Click Add widget at the top, or the Add new widget icon in the center of the screen.
  3. Open the Traditional SCADA fluid system widget bundle.
  4. Select the drain pipe widget for your use case.
  5. Configure the widget settings, then click Add.

The widget connects to a single data source: either a Device or an Entity alias that resolves to a device. This device provides the telemetry or attribute values used to drive the widget’s visual state.

The SCADA symbol defines the visual shape of the widget. Each drain pipe widget has a pre-selected symbol from the Traditional SCADA fluid system bundle. To use a different symbol, click Browse SCADA symbol from gallery and choose one from the library, or upload your own.

Behavior parameters define what the widget displays and how it responds to user interaction.

ParameterDefaultDescription
LeakFalseWhether a leak is present on the drain pipe. See Data source configuration.

Applies to On click. Select one action type from the list below.

  • Do nothing

    The symbol is clickable but performs no action. Use while testing styles or as a placeholder.

    Switches to a different view within the same dashboard, like opening a device details screen.

    ParameterDescription
    Target dashboard stateThe state to open (required).
    Open right dashboard layout (mobile view)Opens a side panel instead of replacing the view (mobile only).
    Set entity from widgetPasses the current entity to the target state.
    State entity parameter nameThe key the entity is passed under.
    Dashboard state display optionNormal (same view), In separate dialog (popup), or In popover (inline overlay).
  • Update current dashboard state

    Updates the context of the current view, like switching the selected device, without navigating away.

    ParameterDescription
    Target dashboard stateThe state to switch to (optional).
    Open right dashboard layout (mobile view)Opens a side panel on mobile.
    Set entity from widgetPasses the current entity to the updated state.
    State entity parameter nameThe key the entity is passed under.
  • Navigate to other dashboard

    Opens a completely different dashboard, like jumping from a fluid system overview to a drain monitoring dashboard.

    ParameterDescription
    Target dashboardThe dashboard to open (required).
    Target dashboard stateThe specific view to open within that dashboard.
    Open in a new browser tabOpens the dashboard without leaving the current page.
    Set entity from widgetPasses the current entity to the other dashboard.
    State entity parameter nameThe key the entity is passed under.
  • Custom action

    Runs custom JavaScript on click to implement any behavior not covered by the built-in options. Use it to make HTTP requests, open custom dialogs, call other widget APIs, or interact with external services. The function receives: $event, widgetContext, entityId, entityName, additionalParams, entityLabel.

  • Custom action (with HTML template)

    Same as Custom action, but also renders a custom HTML panel or dialog when the symbol is clicked. The function receives an additional htmlTemplate parameter: $event, widgetContext, entityId, entityName, htmlTemplate, additionalParams, entityLabel.

    ParameterDescription
    ResourcesExternal scripts and styles loaded before the action runs.
    CSSStyling for the HTML template.
    HTMLLayout of the rendered dialog or panel.
    JSAction logic.

For all other actions, the configuration dialog works the same way regardless of which parameter you are editing:

  • Execute RPC

    Read the parameter value from an RPC response.

    ParameterDescription
    MethodRPC method to call, like getState or getLeakState.
    Action result converterNone — parameter is activated when the result matches the value you specify; Function — parameter is activated when your f(data) returns true.
    ’[parameter]’ when result isThe value or condition that activates this parameter.
    RPC request timeout (ms)How long to wait for a device response before timing out (Advanced settings).
    RPC request persistentStores and retries the command until the device comes online (Advanced settings).
  • Get attribute

    Read the parameter value from a device attribute.

    ParameterDescription
    Attribute scopeWhere the attribute is stored: Any, Client, Server, or Shared.
    Attribute keyAttribute name to read, like leak or leakDetected.
    Action result converterNone — parameter is activated when the attribute equals the value you specify; Function — parameter is activated when your f(data) returns true.
    ’[parameter]’ when result isThe value or condition that activates this parameter.
  • Get time series

    Read the parameter value from the latest telemetry reading.

    ParameterDescription
    Time series keyTelemetry key to monitor, like leak or leakSensor.
    Action result converterNone — parameter is activated when the telemetry value equals what you specify; Function — parameter is activated when your f(data) returns true.
    ’[parameter]’ when result isThe value or condition that activates this parameter.
  • Get alarm status

    Activate the parameter when a specific alarm is active on the device.

    ’[parameter]’ when result isThe state name or condition that activates this parameter.
  • Get dashboard state object

    Activate the parameter using the full dashboard state context; use this when you need to evaluate multiple state parameters at once.

    ParameterDescription
    Parse value functionA f(data) function that receives the current dashboard state object. Use data.id to read the active state name, or data.params to inspect state parameters.
    ’[parameter]’ when result isThe expected type and value that activates the parameter. Choose String, Integer, Double, Boolean (then select True or False), or JSON.
