CO2 Calibration confusing in Dashboard #146

I'm not sure if this is most appropriate here or in the Forums, since it seems to be more related to the Dashboard page.

Going to the Hardware page I can see all of my devices and when they were last seen:
https://app.airgradient.com/settings/hardware

I see a column for "CO2 Calibration Requested" with a checkbox, but you cannot check the box here to request calibration. I think this is confusing as an end user, so if this is not supposed to be clickable, I think changing it to a Yes/No or True/False string would be better to understand.

I did find after poking around that if I click the three dot menu to the far right of a Monitor, I could select "Edit Location" and see another "Request CO2 calibration", which I checked and clicked Save. In the Hardware page, I briefly saw it checked, but clicking the blue Refresh button cleared the checkbox. After the first time I did this nothing updated on my sensor that I could tell, even though the checkbox had cleared. I still had incorrect numbers for CO2.

I tried it again about 5 minutes later, and maybe it did eventually work from the first attempt, but after requesting calibration a second time and going back to see the current values, it was updated.

Summary:

  • Checkbox in the hardware page is misleading since users can't check it and must Edit Location to request it
  • In the Hardware page, a Yes/No value for "CO2 Calibration Requested" would be more clear
  • In Edit Location, I think the c in calibration should be capitalized to match the Hardware page where it is capitalized. Consistency is key
  • If possible, once calibration is requested, the checkbox/true on the Hardware page should stay until the calibration is completed, rather than resetting immediately
  • I don't think "Edit Location" is an intuitive place to find the option to request CO2 calibration. Perhaps its own menu under the 3 dots in the Admin column, so it had "Edit Location", "Show Monitor Information", and "Request CO2 Calibration"
