Sailabout - Wanting to create a gauge with zone...
Wanting to create a gauge with zones in KIP, I see that the electrical resistance unit Ohn is not available in the server metadata. Should it be added? Background: use of the BME680 sensor for a raw measurement of volatile organic compounds VOC (gas detection).

Easy enough to add at https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-server/blob/7c94c6490197bca3c37ce114af3391c48b697065/packages/server-admin-ui/src/views/DataBrowser/Meta.js#L224

@Sailabout I can add ˋohm` to KIP. Someone else asked for ˋkPaˋ so I’ll do both together.
Thanks (by the way, it is more like kΩ in this specific BME680 case)
@Sailabout All I have in my quantities library is ohm but pretty simple to add kiloohm as it's a straight metric conversion.
@Sailabout not sure if SK validates and removes ununknown meta units, but if it does not, it should work before your SK PR gets released if you set meta to ohm or kilohm once I release the next v2 update.
@Sailabout v2.12.0 now includes ohm and kiloohm.
I think until you PR to list Ohm unit in Admin UI metadata units, you can manually edit ~/.signalk/baseDeltas.json file and add the unit to the path.
{
"path": "electric.<your path>",
"value": {
"units": "ohm",
}
},
Enjoy!
