As described here, sensor in Senfi represents a physical object/system of interest.

Sensor Types

There are 3 types of sensors in Senfi:

Managed Sensors

  • Produces at least one measurement/computed measurement

Unmanaged Sensors

  • Does not produce any measurement
  • Can display third-party web content in an iFrame (optional)
    • iFrame's source must be a valid URL

Specialized Sensors

  • May or may not produce measurements
 TW: not clear
 * With Special behavior, attributes and metrics
 ** Eg. Lift has special attribute called Stop and special metric called location to indicate the current location of Lift car. Lift car position in 3D will update by location metric.

Sensor's Attributes

Icon

A sensor may be represented by an icon in the dashboard. You can either choose from a library of built-in icons, or upload an icon image file in PNG format. You can optionally add labels to an icon to denote their purpose.

Icon Library
Icon
Note: Icon will be displayed in actual size in the dashboard

Position

Sensors belong to a Site and may optionally be attached to one of BBL in the Site. For example, a temperature sensor at the level 3 block A of building A in site 123 is attached to Site 123 > Building A > Block A > Level 3. So hiding level 3 of the building also hides the temperature sensor.

A sensor's position can be added/edited in 3D or 2D (if a floorplan is associated). If a floorplan is associated, make sure that there is proper calibration between the floorplan and the 3D model.

Note: Setting of the location for specialized sensors may differ

Tags

Please read this page to be familiar with the concepts related to tag. 

 TW: not clear
 If sensor produces measurements, need to provide the required tags' value of measurements for identification.
