Adding a temperature panel in the Overview dashboard

[tesla2021a]

I always wanted to see the inside temperature in regard to the outside temperature anytime the car is awake. So I added it to the Overview dashboard. If you want to do the same, simple copy the temperature panel from any drives and paste it into the Overview dashboard (much easier than recreating a panel from scratch lol). Then, replace its current code with the following code:

SELECT
  $__time(date), convert_celsius(inside_temp, '$temp_unit'), convert_celsius(outside_temp, '$temp_unit') AS "Inside Temperature [°$temp_unit]"
FROM positions
WHERE
  car_id = $car_id and inside_temp is not null and $__timeFilter(date)
ORDER BY date ASC;

Of course, if you're running off a Docker, you'll need to modify the config so it can be permanent (until the next pull that is). To do so, do the following (assuming running on a RaspberryPi in the /home/pi/teslamate directory, adjust for your installation particularity).

mkdir cd ~/teslamate/tmp
cd ~/teslamate
sudo docker cp teslamate-grafana-1:/etc/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/dashboards.yml tmp/
sudo nano tmp/dashboards.yml
  Add allowUiUpdates: true right before the three options: lines (ps, sudo is required above since the file was copied while sudo'ed)

sudo docker cp tmp/dashboards.yml teslamate-grafana-1:/etc/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/dashboards.yml
sudo docker restart teslamate-grafana-1

Now when you save the panel, you won't get that error that the panel is read only and it will always be there until you pull a new docker image.
