Sensors allow you to collect connected data from your distributors (Enedis, GRDF, etc.) or from your on-site IoT devices and automation systems. The minimum time step displayed on the platform is 10 minutes.

Remote meters data must be linked to a Sensor object via its Identifier. A sensor's Identifier corresponds to the concatenation source_module.channel. This information can be found in the platform's integrated asset management system.

Prerequisites: A sensor is linked to a site and must have a name and a label.

There are two method to call your sensor's data in a widget : directly (sensor's name), or via its category (sensor's label)

@ => Remote readind data (sensor)  => sensor name

• SUM_SENSOR_LABELS(load_curve)

Write the formula SUM_SENSOR_LABELS() and add the label (note that case sensitivity matters).

Which Method to Use?

Calling Labels

Advantages:

• Ability to create shared single-site summaries:
  By duplicating or sharing a summary from site A to site B: Widgets that call a sensor by its label (e.g., Power_enedis) will display the sensor's value on site B, provided it has the same label (e.g., load curve 30002221395265).
  
  
• Ability to call sensor data on multi-site dashboards:
  By using this label in a multi-site dashboard, the indicator will search for all sensors with this label across all sites within the scope and sum or average their values.

Limitations:

No real-time data:

Data is displayed on summaries and dashboards with a one-day delay.

Calling the sensor directly via its name 

Advantages:

• Real-time data display:
  Data is displayed in 10-minute intervals directly on summaries.
• Ability to create site-specific summaries

Limitations:

• Non-shareable specific summaries:
  Duplicating or sharing a summary from site A to site B: Widgets that call a sensor by its name on site A (e.g., load curve 30002140791264) will not display any data on site B as site B does not have access to that sensor or its data.
• Specific sensor data cannot be called on multi-site dashboards

Knowing or Modifying the Label Names Used on Your Sensors

Select a site, then go to "synoptic". Here, you will find the sensors associated with your site. Click on the sensor of your choice. On the right, you will find all the information related to this sensor. At the bottom of this list, there is a "Label" field. 

To modify the label name or add another one, click on the yellow stylus.
