Energy and Equipment Monitoring

How it works

Name the sensor or asset and associate it with the correct site or group. Confirm that the displayed reading and unit match the measurement you intend to track. Use a filtered time window to compare the readings before and after a change. Export that window as CSV if colleagues need to compare it with other records.

Set up the dashboard around the people who will use it. The operator checking conditions needs to find the relevant site, group and sensor quickly. The person responding to an incident also needs the time and reading that caused the alert. Agree on clear names and use the same names in rules so those two views make sense together.

Example alert rule

Configure a high power-demand rule for an asset and specify how long the reading must remain above the limit before alerting. The duty contact can review the trend, check associated runtime or state readings where available, and assign an investigation. Use a clear condition to follow the return to the expected range.

Review readings and coordinate a response

Decide who should receive an email and who will take ownership when an incident opens. Acknowledge it to show that someone is responding, then assign it if another person needs to investigate. During planned work, use a maintenance or suppression window where appropriate. After the work, check that the expected readings are arriving again.

When reviewing an incident, use a time window that includes readings before the alert and after the condition cleared. Keep the measurement and unit consistent so the comparison is meaningful. A CSV export lets a colleague inspect the same readings, while the incident record keeps the response and assignment visible to the team.
