In the app I would like to display both Temperature and Voltage on the same graph, for all or part of my sensors. Similar to the way Moisture and Relative Humidity can be on one graph.

For that matter, it would be helpful to plot temperature with signal level also. Basically, pick my data sets and pick my sensors, and graph it.

Depending on how technical you are, the best solution to this problem is to extract the data and then use the tool of your choice to create graphs etc. For me, I wrote a utility which I use to extract the data to ElasticSearch, and then use Kibana to create all manner of charts. If you want to use the utility, it's here:

Currently, you can only pick multiple sensors and pick one type of data (with the Stats) button. Do you envision an option in this Stats button to allow selecting multiple data types in addition to multiple sensors?  Don't you think the number of lines will quickly grow too large and graph becomes too busy?

@Mark - yes, I know I can download the data and graph manually. But, for on-the-fly quick checks of things, it is cumbersome to do that.

@Support - Yes, I was basically envisioning selecting multiple data types. Maybe not multiple sensors at the same time as selecting multiple data types, as it could certainly result in very busy graphs as you say. But, even if multiple data types and sensors were allowed at the same time, there could could be an upper limit to the number of graph lines to display at once, so the servers are not overwhelmed etc.

Looking at the interface again, I now realize that the Temp/RH graph is not via the Stats button. It is actually via the Graph button within the sensor list. There are 2 options there today - "motion events" and "Temp/RH"

A less extensive development solution may be to just add a 3rd graph choice within the sensor details, called "Temp/Voltage"?

The other solution (within the stats button) would certainly be more powerful, being able to choose exactly which 2 data types you want to graph for a given sensor, but may be more complex to deploy.
