Preconfigured settings
Selecting the app unlocks configuration specified by the app.
Settings tab
On the digital twin definition's Settings tab, the app's settings are preconfigured.
For SmartUtilityMetering, there is a single setting: boTypeGaugemeterReading. This is where you specify the type of meter reading.
 | • The default value is Gauge meter reading, but you can specify your own meter type if necessary. • Do NOT alter the preconfigured settings, rules and group templates on the IoT platform as this will break the app's operation. |
Technical details tab
The digital twin definition's Technical details tab displays the app's context.
Data points
This contains six data points concerning:
• GasHourly
• GasDaily
• ElectricityHourly
• ElectricityDaily
• WaterHourly
• WaterDaily
Action
The app also has a DailyConsumption action.
When an inbound message arrives at the Connector, and its body contains the app's classname and action name, the Smart Utility Metering app will process the values that are received from the IoT platform.
Only the Smart Utility Metering app will be able to act on this trigger.
When a Daily consumption event is included in the message body, the app will create a meter reading in the Planon application.
Should an hourly consumption event be received, nothing will happen as the app is not programmed to act on it.
Rules
The Technical details also includes three rules that will be scheduled to run daily:
• ScheduleGasDaily
• ScheduleElectricityDaily
• ScheduleWaterDaily
These rules are configured to send the daily reading values from the IoT platform to the Planon application.
| | The daily readings are based on the hourly readings. |
