Sensor types
On this step you can create and distinguish between various sensor types. For example, types of sensors for measuring occupancy only and those that measure environmental values also.
The distinction could be based on sensor variables (vendor-specific):
• ELSYS_NO_ENVIRON: non of the environmental measurements of this sensor are used.
• ELSYS_NO_TEMP: this sensor is not used for measuring temperature.
Example
A location is fitted with three sensors. Two are positioned on the ceiling and one is fitted on thermostat height. You would not want to take the ceiling sensors into account when measuring the location's temperature as this would throw off the average value.
 | Specifying sensor types is optional. The above example is based on the SWYCS sensoring system. |
