Climate rules let you define acceptable conditions for your sensors once and apply them across your sites, rooms, and collections.
What you see when you open a rule
Each rule in the list shows its name, how many notification rules and devices it has, and a badge with its four thresholds: the critical lower bound, the optimal lower bound, the optimal upper bound, and the critical upper bound.
Click a rule to expand it. The Units tab lists every sensor the rule is applied to, with four columns:
- Unit Name: the sensor's name and the type of reading it monitors (for example, Humidity or Lux)
- Site / Area: where the sensor is located. Sensors with no assigned location show "No location"
- Current State: the sensor's latest reading, shown as a value badge
- Notification: whether a notification rule is active for that sensor, or "No notification rules" if none applies
Colour-coded readings
The Current State badge is colour-coded against the rule's thresholds so you can spot issues at a glance:
- Red: the reading has passed a critical threshold, either below the critical lower bound or above the critical upper bound
- Yellow: the reading sits in the warning band, between the critical and optimal bounds
- No colour: the reading is within the optimal range
For example, if a humidity rule has a critical lower bound of 40% RH, any sensor reading below 40% RH is flagged red. If another humidity rule has a critical lower bound of 35% RH and an optimal lower bound of 40% RH, a reading of 38% RH falls in the 35–40% RH gap and is flagged yellow.
Budget badges
A rule that sets a light or UV budget shows a badge beneath its name giving the budget and the warning percentage, for example 300 klx-h and 80%. Unlike the Current State badges above, this describes the rule rather than any one sensor. How far each sensor has climbed through the budget is shown in the rule's Threshold Events tab.
