Adding A New Room
In the Sensgreen Smart Building Platform, adding a new room is a crucial part of adding a new device. This process allows you to precisely define the location of your devices within your building. Here's how to do it:
Add A New Device: Start by adding a new device to your building. During this process, you'll provide details about the device, such as its type, identifier, and integration method.

Specify Room Name: At the final phase of adding a device, you'll have the opportunity to specify the room in which you want to locate the device. Simply indicate the room name in this step.
Room Creation: By specifying the room name during the device addition process, a new room is automatically created within your building. This room serves as a critical component for organizing and managing your devices.
The room concept in Sensgreen defines the precise physical location of your devices within your building. This level of granularity ensures that your building's data is accurately organized and can be leveraged effectively for analysis, automation, and reporting.
This intuitive approach simplifies the process of building management and allows you to gain precise insights into how different areas of your building perform.
Tagging Rooms for Better Organization
Room tagging is a powerful feature that allows you to better organize and categorize your building spaces. This feature simplifies building management and offers you a more streamlined view of your building's data. Here's how to use it:
Access Room Tagging: To begin tagging rooms, navigate to the "Rooms" page within the platform.
Assign Tags: On the "Rooms" page, locate the "Assign Tags" button at the top right corner and click it. A pop-up window will appear.
Create New Tags: If you wish to create new tags, click the "Add New" option in the tags dropdown list. This enables you to define custom tags that suit your specific needs.
Choose Existing Tags: Alternatively, you can select from existing tags if they already fit your requirements.
Tag Your Rooms: Next, you can choose one or multiple rooms to tag from the list. Simply select the rooms you want to tag.
Save Your Tags: After selecting the rooms, click the 'Save' button. The chosen rooms will now be tagged accordingly.
Use Cases and Benefits
Room tagging provides several key benefits for better organization and management of your building:
Enhanced Organization: Tags enable you to categorize rooms based on specific criteria, such as function (e.g., meeting rooms, offices), location (e.g., floor, wing), or equipment (e.g., HVAC units, lighting). This categorization makes it easier to locate and manage rooms with similar characteristics.
Efficient Filtering: Once rooms are tagged, you can filter and view rooms with similar tags. This feature allows you to focus on specific subsets of rooms, providing a more efficient way to monitor and analyze data.
Quick Identification: Tags act as visual cues that help quickly identify the purpose or status of a room. For example, you can tag rooms as "Meeting Rooms" or "Under Maintenance," allowing for rapid recognition and response.
Customization: Creating custom tags allows you to tailor the system to your unique needs. Whether you have specific room types, usage patterns, or management requirements, custom tags provide the flexibility to adapt the platform to your building's specifics.
Data Analysis: When performing data analysis, having tagged rooms makes it simpler to group and compare data. You can easily assess the performance of similar rooms or equipment categories, aiding in decision-making and optimization efforts.
In summary, room tagging is a valuable feature that empowers you to efficiently organize your building spaces and leverage data effectively. Whether it's for facility management, energy optimization, or usage monitoring, tags enhance the platform's usability and provide a more tailored experience.
Room Data Analysis
The Platform provides comprehensive tools for in-depth room data analysis. When you access a specific room by clicking its name on the Rooms page, you'll find a range of analytical components designed to help you make informed decisions and optimize room performance.
Real-Time Data Component
The real-time data component offers a quick snapshot of the most recent data transmitted by devices within the room. This data is displayed in real-time, allowing you to stay updated on the current conditions in the room. Key parameters, such as temperature, humidity, occupancy status, and more, are readily available for your reference.
Alarms Component
The alarms component on the right top side provides visibility into any alarms generated specifically for the room. Alarms can be triggered for various reasons, such as deviations from standard parameters or equipment malfunctions. Monitoring room-specific alarms ensures timely responses to critical issues, maintaining optimal room conditions.
Average Data Component
The average data component allows you to explore room data over specific time intervals. You can select from pre-configured time ranges, such as the last 24 hours, yesterday, the last 7 days, or the last 30 days. Additionally, you have the option to specify custom time ranges for more detailed analysis.
As part of this analysis, you can visualize key parameters in graphical format, including temperature, humidity, occupancy, and other relevant metrics. The data is color-coded based on the building's specified standards, simplifying the identification of deviations from desired conditions.
Analytics Component
The analytics component empowers you to conduct advanced room data analysis. You can apply statistical functions to room data, including averages, minimums, and maximums, over specified time periods (hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly). This functionality allows for in-depth insights into room performance.
For boolean parameters such as occupancy status, HVAC and lighting unit operation, door/window status, and more, you can derive valuable metrics, such as the percentage of occupied time, equipment runtime, and counts of specific events.
The analytics component also applies color-coding based on predefined standards, enabling you to quickly identify areas of concern or opportunities for improvement. Additionally, it displays the average of the specified function as a horizontal line on the graph, aiding in trend analysis.
In summary, the room data analysis components provide a comprehensive view of room conditions, enabling you to monitor real-time data, track alarms, analyze historical averages, and perform advanced analytics. These tools support effective room management, optimization efforts, and data-driven decision-making.
Export Room Data
The Sensgreen Smart Building Platform empowers you to export room-specific data for further analysis and reporting. Whether you need historical records or real-time insights, exporting room data is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to export data from a specific room:
Access the Room Detail Page: Begin by selecting the room you're interested in from the Rooms page. Click on the room's name to navigate to its detail page.
Locate the 'Export Data' Button: Once you're on the Room Detail page, direct your attention to the component just next to the average data graph. Here, you will find the "Export Data" button.
Specify Data Parameters: Click on the "Export Data" button to initiate the export process. A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to specify your export preferences.
Select Data Parameters: In the pop-up window, you can choose which parameters you want to include in the exported data. These parameters may include temperature, humidity, occupancy status, and other relevant metrics. Select the parameters that align with your analysis goals.
Define the Time Range: Next, specify the time range for the data export. You have several options to choose from, including
Today: Data for the current day.
Yesterday: Data for the previous day.
Last 7 Days: A week's worth of data.
Last 30 Days: Data for the past month.
Custom Time Range: If you require a specific time range, choose this option to define the start and end dates.
Initiate the Export: After selecting your parameters and time range, click the "Export" button to initiate the data export process.
Download the Data: The system will generate the data file in CSV format, containing the selected parameters and the specified time range's data. The file will be made available for download.
Access Exported Data: Once the export is complete, you can access the exported data file. It contains comprehensive room-specific information for your analysis and reporting needs.
