Sensors allow you to integrate IOT data to your platform. 

Managing Sensors on the N'gage Platform

For each site, sensors can be accessed via the Synoptic page under the Sensors tab.

They can be created and modified directly from the Sensors sub-tab, the Energy System, or through your Asset file. It is also possible to associate a sensor with one of the meters in your energy system.

Key Sections and Mandatory Fields

The columns C to AE in the Sensors tab of the Asset file correspond to fields visible on the portal.
When using the portal, you must first click to enter edit mode.

Certain fields are mandatory for creating a sensor. These fields are highlighted in red on the portal and appear in yellow, blue, and green in the Asset file. The color codes are as follows:

Orange: Mandatory and non-editable.
Blue: Mandatory and editable.
Green: Non-mandatory and non-editable (Note: For "real" sensors, the source becomes mandatory, although marked in green).

Important Fields to Consider:

Source: Mandatory and refers to the origin of your data. This is provided by your project manager. For example, for Enedis sensors, the source would be "Enedis."

Module: Mandatory and corresponds to the identification of your remote reading point. For Enedis sensors, the module is equal to the delivery point. For a temperature sensor, the module is the serial number identifying your sensor.

Channel: Mandatory and used to differentiate between the various types of data received from a remote reading point. This is provided by your project manager. For example, an ambiance sensor can measure both temperature and humidity through the same device, with the same source and module but different channels for temperature and humidity. Each source has its own channels.

Service Start Date: Mandatory, indicating the timestamp from which the data should be accounted for in all analyses on the platform.

Uninstallation Date: Indicates the timestamp from which the data should no longer be accounted for in any analyses on the platform.

Time Step: Mandatory, referring to the interval at which the data is remotely collected.

Index Difference: Mandatory, can be set to true or false. If true, the sensor will automatically return the difference from the previously collected value to calculate the consumption based on the indexes.

Aggregation: Mandatory, can be set to sum or average. It defines how the sensor should aggregate the data when requested for a time-based aggregation in a widget.

Measurement Type: Mandatory, can be set to fluid or factor. It defines whether the sensor measures fluid consumption (fluid) or is a general measurement sensor (factor).

Unit: Mandatory, ensuring compatibility between the fluid and the unit (e.g., cubic meters cannot be used to quantify electricity consumption on the portal). If incorrectly configured (through the Asset file), your sensor cannot be registered. Compatibility between the fluid and unit can be verified on the portal.

Fluid: Mandatory if the measurement type is set to "fluid" in your Asset file. It identifies the measured fluid.

Influence Factor: Mandatory if the measurement type is set to "factor" in your Asset file. It accepts three values: temperature, hygrometry, or other.

Pulse Weight: Allows the application of a fixed factor to the raw data sent by your sensor. For example, if the value 1000 is entered, all raw values from your sensor will be multiplied by a factor of 1000. This field is useful for automatic unit conversions or applying distribution fractions.

Labels: Allows assigning a label to a sensor to use algorithms like SUM_SENSOR_LABELS to aggregate data based on this label. Labels help centralize data of the same type from different sensors.

By correctly configuring these fields, you ensure accurate and efficient management of your sensors and data on the N'gage platform!
