Plugin overview

MoBro is a modular application that is extensible by both plugins and widget packs.

Plugins extend the functionality of MoBro and can provide a diverse range of different data.
Plugins can be installed and managed directly from within MoBro via the marketplace.

You can access your three most recent plugins directly on landing page of the Monitoring tab, alongside some stats.

Should you have more than three plugins installed, you can see all your currently installed plugins on the Plugins page.

Plugins

Install​

Navigate to the Marketplace tab within MoBro where you can see all the available plugins.
To install a plugin, simply click the 'plus' button.
Your already installed plugins are marked by a green dot.

Plugin installation

Update​

If an update for a plugin is available, the new version will be shown alongside the update button.
You can also manually check for an update via the three-dot menu.

Settings​

Most plugins expose at least some settings for you to configure.
Some plugins even require configuration for them to work at all.

You can access the plugin settings via the three-dot menu.

The OpenWeather plugin, for example, requires an API key and a city name to fetch the weather metrics.
Additionally, it also allows you to customize some settings like the update frequency or the icon set to use.

Errors​

In case a plugin crashes or encounters any other error, it will be shown as its status.
Hovering over the status will reveal additional information.

In this case, some of the required settings of the OpenWeather plugin are still missing.
