Sensor Events

Accessed from the Assets page, Sensor Events let you monitor user-definable conditions based on parameters measured by s::can and ATi water quality sensors. When sensor event conditions are met, alerts can be sent via email.


Create a Sensor Event

To get started, do the following:

1. 1. 1. From the Assets page, use the All Assets drop-down menu to select Sensors.

         

      2. Click the desired device in the Device Name field to select the water quality sensor of interest.

         This action opens the Summary page for the selected water quality sensor. By default and before you create a sensor event, you will see No Active Events displayed under the selected water quality sensor serial number.

         

      3. Scroll down to the Configure Events section and click + Set Up Event.
         

         This action opens the Create Event drawer.

         

      4. Use the Choose a sensor channel drop-down menu to select a water quality sensor channel.
         Note: No data will be displayed in the graph until you pick a sensor channel.
      5. Give the event a name by typing in the Name field. Note: This step is required.
         Names can be up to 50 characters in length.
      6. If desired, add a description in the Description field. Descriptions can be up to 300 characters in length.
      7. Choose a logic Operator with the drop-down menu.
         

         Is Between	The value falls between two values.
         Is Not Between	The value does not fall between two values.
         Less Than	The value is less than the provided value.
         Greater Than	The value is greater than the provided value.
         Less Than Or Equal	The value matches or is less than the provided value.
         Greater Than Or Equal	The value matches or is greater than the provided value.

          

      8. Depending on which Operator you chose, enter one or two values in the right-most field(s). For example, if you chose Is Between or Is Not Between, enter a low value and a high value in the yellow-outlined boxes.
      9. Enter a Duration logic Operator using the drop-down menu located to the right of “Duration.”
         
      10. Enter a numeric value in the field to the right of the logic Operator drop-down menu.
          

          Operator	Function
          Is	Use this operator to filter for the existence of a field or a specific duration in a large set events.
          Is Not	Use this operator to find instances that do not match an existing condition or duration.
          Less Than	The value is less than the provided value.
          Less Than Or Equal	The value matches or is less than the provided value.
          Greater Than	The value is greater than the provided value.
          Greater Than Or Equal	The value matches or is greater than the provided value.

           

      11. Use the right-most Duration drop-down menu to select a duration unit.
      12. Use the Schedule parameters to limit the timeframe during which the Sensor Event will be active.
      13. Click Watch to monitor usage on the day(s) of the week set by clicking +Add Time Period and choosing a day of the week.
      14. Click +Add Time Period as many times as needed to add additional days to your schedule. Click Ignore to apply the +Add Time Period function to select the day(s) of the week during which skip usage monitoring.

          

      15. Use the From and To drop-down menus to select the hours during which to watch or ignore the event.

          

      16. Click the Trash icon to clear your selection(s).
      17. Set Start and End Dates during which to detect the sensor event.

          

          NOTE: Start dates can be back-dated 30 days. You can also choose any future date to start a Sensor Event.

          Click anywhere in the From field to open a calendar. Click any date to select it. Use the < > arrows to step back and forward one month at a time.Click anywhere in the To field to open a calendar. Click any date to select it. Use the < > arrows to step back and forward one month at a time.Selecting no To/end date keeps the Sensor Event active indefinitely.

      18. Toggle the Subscribe switch to enable and disable email notifications for the Sensor Event.

          Type an email address in the Email field. A green check tells you  when the email is valid.Any number of email addresses can be added.

          

      19. When finished, click Save to store the Sensor Event or Cancel to discard the sensor event.
      20. Repeat steps 1-15 to add more Sensor Events to monitor different parameters measured by each s::scan and ATi water quality sensor in your system.

View Active Events
When the conditions of a Sensor Event have been met, an active event is triggered. These active events are displayed beneath the water quality sensor serial number at the top of the Asset Summary page.

In the example above, the conditions defined by four different Sensor Events associated with the parameters of a MetriNet water quality sensor have been triggered.

The Events tab on the Asset Summary page lets you see more details about each Active Event in your system.

In this example, the details of a Turbidity Warning Threshold Sensor Event are shown.

Click-drag the vertical scroll bar on the far right of the screen to view more events. Notice the total number of events is shown in the lower left corner. In the example above shows four active events at the top of the screen and 10 total events are being reported in the lower left corner indicating that more than one event type has been triggered.
