If you prefer to see the sensor averages to display on the map dots, check “Averages as Show Rings” on the map controller. The rings give a visual display of the average historic readings, showing the same averages you see when clicking a specific sensor.

Each ring represents an average for a time range:

Center of the circle = Real-time average

1st ring = Short-term average

2nd ring = 30-minute average

3rd ring = 1-hour average

4th ring = 6-hour average

5th ring = 24-hour average

6th ring = 1-week average
