Welcome back to our tutorials
Let' see how we can configure an aggregate sensor. From the left hand side menu we can click on Configuration and
then to the Aggregate Sensor Page.
Once we know where to find them let's check into the specific:
An aggregate sensors is a combination of two or more sensors from the same Sensor type; those sensors can
be arithmetically aggregate in terms of sum, average, multiplication (and more) in order to better describe or better evaluate events.
For instance if we consider a very big area where we are measuring the occupancy level with 4 different sensors, will be interesting to know the sum of two of them
to better understand the top side overall occupancy of this area, or maybe to sum all of them to know the full occupancy of the area.
In the above picture are showed all the main components of the aggregate sensor page.
It's very easy to configure an Aggregate Sensor, once on the page you just need to click on New Aggregate Sensor and this will open the following page:
We will need to fill up the following fields.
Equation: this field will simply show you the operation built between the sensor (this is not editable)
Clicking on Add Device you can add a new device to the aggregation, selecting of course all the fields as the previous section.
You are also able to transform your sensor in a Counter by flagging counter and choose:
Once this is done, you just need to click on CREATE and your aggregate sensor will be added to the list
You can use the aggregate sensor on every single Ai-Dash PRO Charts just by selecting Aggregate Sensor from the Sensor Type the list with all the configured Aggregate sensor will appear.
