Sensor

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

Sensors belongs to the Site and attach to one of BBL in the Site. For example temperature sensor at the level 3 block A of building A in site A is attached to Site A > Building A > Block A > Level 3. So hiding of level 3 in BBL also hide the temperature sensor.

Sensor Types

There are 3 types of sensors in Senfi:

Managed Sensors

• Produces at least one measurement/computed measurement

Unmanaged Sensors

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

Specialized Sensors

• May or May not produce measurements
• 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 in 3D model and 2D floorplan represents by image icon. User can upload icon image file in png format. User can add labels to icon for filtering.

Icon Library

Icon

Note: Size of the icon in dashboard will be uploaded image's pixel size

Location

Sensor's position in 3D model and 2D floorplan. User only need to set the location either in 3D model or 2D floorplan.

Note: Setting of the location for specialized sensors may differ

Tags

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

If sensor produces measurements, need to provide the required tags' value of measurements for identification.
