How to work with the Climate module

The Climate module helps you monitor temperature and humidity at monitoring objects.

It allows you to organize sensors into a room structure, view their current values, track updates, and display sensors on the object layout.

In this article, we'll cover:

Before you start

For the Climate module to work correctly, temperature or humidity sensors must be pre-configured at the monitoring objects.

The module only works with sensors that have already been added to the system and linked to monitoring objects.

Therefore, before you begin, ensure that you have:

1. Created a monitoring object

2. Configured a temperature or humidity sensor on that object

Example

Suppose you want to monitor the temperature in a living space. Here is the workflow:

1. First, create a Home object in the monitoring system. Read how to create a monitoring object here

2. Then, add a temperature sensor to it. Read how to configure a sensor on an object here

3. After that, open the Climate module and link the sensor to a room.

Module interface

The module interface is divided into two main parts:

Room and sensor List

The left side contains the main workspace with a list of:

Names of buildings, floors, and rooms
Sensors linked to each room
The current value of each sensor
Last update time
A mini-graph showing value changes

At the top of the list, you will find tools:

Search — a bar to quickly find a specific object or sensor

Filter — to filter elements based on conditions

Add button — to add a new room

Refresh button — to update data

Room layout

If an SVG layout has been uploaded for a room, a plan with sensor markers will be displayed on the right.

How to work with the module

1. Create a room

To start monitoring the climate, you need to create a structure: building, floor, or room.

1. Go to the Climate section

2. Click the Add button

at the top of the list

3. In the pop-up window, enter the name of the room

4. Click OK

The new room will appear in the list. You can now work with it via the context menu.

To edit a created room:

1. Right-click on the room

2. Select Edit from the menu

3. In the opened window, change the name

4. If necessary, select the room type: Building, Floor, or Room

5. Click Save

2. Add nested elements

If your space consists of several zones, you can make the structure more detailed. For example, add floors to a building, and rooms to a floor.

1. Right-click on the desired room in the list

2. Select Add apartment from the menu

3. Specify the name of the new element

4. Select the type of room: Building, Floor, or Room

5. Click Save

The new element will appear inside the selected room. You can repeat this process to build the structure you need

3. Add a sensor

After creating a room, you need to link a sensor to it:

1. Select the desired room in the list

2. Right-click and select Add sensor

3. A settings window will open where you need to select:

Monitoring object — the object to which the sensor is linked
Sensor — the specific temperature or humidity sensor from the list

4. Click Add

After saving, the sensor will appear in the Climate module list.

The following will be displayed for it:

Name — the sensor's name in the system.
Current value — the temperature or humidity right now.
Update time — when the data was last received.
Mini-graph — how the value has changed over time.

If a layout is uploaded, the sensor will also be displayed on it.

Working with sensors in the list

Sensor tooltip

If you hover your cursor over a sensor in the list, a tooltip will appear.

It shows:

Sensor name
Sensor ID
Sensor type
Current value
Current status

Sensors can have the following statuses:

In Range — the value is within the acceptable range.
Out of Range — the value has exceeded the acceptable limits.
Offline — no current data is being received from the sensor.

Mini-graph

A mini-graph of the sensor's operation and value changes may be displayed next to the sensor in the list. It helps you quickly see how values have changed over time.

If you hover over the graph, you can see a tooltip with additional information—for example, the value at a specific point in time or the time of the reading change.
