Once you have created a collection, you add sensors to it using the Manage units button at the top of the collection page. You can add or remove sensors at any time. The collection does not need to be empty to make changes.
How to add sensors
- Open the collection from the Collections tab.
- Click Manage units in the top right corner.
- The Manage units panel shows all your sites and their sensors. Sites that have no sensors assigned yet are listed separately under Sites without units.
- Expand a site by clicking its name to see the individual sensors inside it.
- Click + Add next to a sensor to include it, or + Add all to add every sensor in that site at once. Added sensors are highlighted and marked with a tick.
- Use the search bar at the top to find a specific sensor by name.
- Click Next when you are done, then confirm to save your changes.
💡 Sensors remain part of their original site when you add them to a collection. A collection is an additional grouping, not a reassignment.
How to remove a unit
From the Table view inside the collection, click the three-dot menu (...) on the right side of any sensor row. You will see two options:
- Edit unit: opens the unit settings
- Remove unit from this collection: removes the sensor from this collection only. It remains in its site and any other collections it belongs to.
Applying a climate rule to a collection
You can apply a climate rule directly to a collection, so the whole group is monitored by its own set of thresholds, independently of whatever rules are applied at site level. This is particularly useful when a group of objects has different conservation requirements to the rest of the building.
Open the collection from the Collections tab. In Table view, find the Applied climate rules section in the collection details (click Show details if the details are hidden) and click the + button.
A picker opens listing every climate rule available in your project, each with its thresholds shown. Click + Add next to each rule you want to apply, then click Next to confirm. You can apply more than one rule to the same collection.
See What is a climate rule for more on how rules work.
