Right Tee Pipe

• Control fluid presence, flow state, and direction independently for each arm.
• Animate fluid flow per arm at configurable speed.
• Indicate leak conditions at the junction.
• Apply custom fluid colors per arm.
• Receive 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 pipe fitting 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 junction 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 are organized by pipe arm. Each arm is configured independently, allowing different fluid state data sources for each direction. See Data source configuration for the full list of available actions.

Parameter	Default	Description
Fluid presence	Absent	Whether fluid is present in the right arm. See Data source configuration.
Flow presence	Absent	Whether fluid is flowing in the right arm. See Data source configuration.
Flow direction	Forward	Direction of the fluid flow animation in the right arm. See Data source configuration.
Flow animation speed	1	Animation speed. 1 is normal speed, 0 disables animation, < 1 slower, > 1 faster. See Data source configuration.

Parameter	Default	Description
Fluid presence	Absent	Whether fluid is present in the top arm. See Data source configuration.
Flow presence	Absent	Whether fluid is flowing in the top arm. See Data source configuration.
Flow direction	Forward	Direction of the fluid flow animation in the top arm. See Data source configuration.
Flow animation speed	1	Animation speed. 1 is normal speed, 0 disables animation, < 1 slower, > 1 faster. See Data source configuration.

Parameter	Default	Description
Fluid presence	Absent	Whether fluid is present in the bottom arm. See Data source configuration.
Flow presence	Absent	Whether fluid is flowing in the bottom arm. See Data source configuration.
Flow direction	Forward	Direction of the fluid flow animation in the bottom arm. See Data source configuration.
Flow animation speed	1	Animation speed. 1 is normal speed, 0 disables animation, < 1 slower, > 1 faster. See Data source configuration.

Parameter	Default	Description
Leak	False	Whether a leak is present at the junction. See Data source configuration.

Applies to all parameters across all arms. Click the edit icon next to a parameter to open its configuration dialog. When Action is set to Do nothing, the Value options depend on which parameter you are configuring:

Parameter	Value
Fluid presence	Present or Absent
Flow presence	Present or Absent
Flow direction	Forward or Reverse
Flow animation speed	Any number — 1 for normal speed, 0 to stop, < 1 slower, > 1 faster.
Leak	True or False

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.

  Parameter	Description
  Method	RPC method to call, like getState or getFlowStatus.
  Action result converter	None — parameter is activated when the result matches the value you specify; Function — parameter is activated when your f(data) returns true.
  ’[parameter]’ when result is	The 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 persistent	Stores and retries the command until the device comes online (Advanced settings).

• Get attribute

  Read the parameter value from a device attribute.

  Parameter	Description
  Attribute scope	Where the attribute is stored: Any, Client, Server, or Shared.
  Attribute key	Attribute name to read, like state or flowActive.
  Action result converter	None — parameter is activated when the attribute equals the value you specify; Function — parameter is activated when your f(data) returns true.
  ’[parameter]’ when result is	The value or condition that activates this parameter.

• Get time series

  Read the parameter value from the latest telemetry reading.

  Parameter	Description
  Time series key	Telemetry key to monitor, like flowState or leakSensor.
  Action result converter	None — parameter is activated when the telemetry value equals what you specify; Function — parameter is activated when your f(data) returns true.
  ’[parameter]’ when result is	The value or condition that activates this parameter.

• Get alarm status

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

  Parameter	Description
  Alarm severity	Which severity levels trigger the active state: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning, or Indeterminate.
  Alarm types	Any alarm, or a specific alarm type.

• Get dashboard state id

  Activate the parameter based on which dashboard state is currently open.

  Parameter	Description
  Action result converter	None — parameter is activated when the state name matches the text you enter; Function — parameter is activated when your f(data) returns true.
  ’[parameter]’ when result is	The 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.

  Parameter	Description
  Parse value function	A 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 is	The expected type and value that activates the parameter. Choose String, Integer, Double, Boolean (then select True or False), or JSON.

The Appearance section controls the widget title and per-arm fluid colors.

Setting	Description
Title	Widget title displayed in the header. Supports entityName and entityLabel variables.
Card icon	Icon shown in the widget header. Configure its size and color.
Right fluid color	Color of the fluid in the right arm.
Top fluid color	Color of the fluid in the top arm.
Bottom fluid color	Color of the fluid in the bottom arm.
Pipe color	Color of the pipe structure itself.

The Card appearance section controls the widget container style.

Setting	Default	Description
Background	Transparent	Card background color.
Show card buttons	Fullscreen	Buttons shown on the card when hovered.
Card border radius	0px	Rounding of card corners.
Card padding	12px	Inner spacing between the card edge and widget content.

One or more arms show no fluid state or incorrect state

Cause	Solution
Action is set to Do nothing for that arm	Open the arm’s parameter edit dialog, set the correct Action, and specify the attribute or time-series key.
Attribute or telemetry key mismatch	Verify that the key name matches exactly what the device reports.
Target device is not connected	Confirm that the selected device is online and actively sending data.

Flow animation does not play on an arm

Cause	Solution
Flow animation speed is 0	Set a non-zero value (e.g. 1 for normal speed).
Flow presence is Absent	Configure Flow presence to read from the device and verify the device reports an active flow state for that arm.
