The estate : the list of sensors

The screen you'll spend most time on

The estate is the inventory of everything Cybelia has fitted at your premises. Each sensor takes one row; clicking the row opens its record.

What each row tells you

The name, the one you chose, which should mean something to someone on the shop floor. The location in the tree: site, then area. The latest reading with its unit, 12% humidity, 18.4 °C, 3.2 kW. And above all the time of that reading.

That time is the most useful thing on the screen, and it is the one people forget to look at. A reading two minutes old is a live reading. A reading two days old is not good news: it is a sensor that has gone quiet.

Sorting, filtering, searching

The search box searches names: type "kiln" and you are left with the kiln sensors only. Columns sort with a click on their heading, sorting by time of last reading brings the silent sensors to the top, which is a good Monday morning habit.

At Les Ateliers du Vent d'Ouest

The estate holds thirteen sensors across three sites: two humidity probes in the kilns, five temperature probes spread across the workshops and the finishing room, three electricity meters on the large machines, two run/stop contacts on the extraction, and one outdoor probe used as a reference.
