Aggregated Equipment

You can combine individual household appliances or devices into one aggregated equipment. This is useful if you want to monitor, for example, the total energy consumption for lighting. When several families live in the house, you can use this tool to determine how much electricity each consumes.

Aggregated equipment is displayed on the equipment list at the bottom of the screen in the Energy plugin. You can also see it in the application as another load.

You create aggregated equipment as follows:

1. In your web browser, open the Energy plugin for your controller.

2. Click + at the bottom right corner of the screen > click Add aggregated equipment. The form for creating new aggregated equipment pops up.

3. Fill out the form as follows:

   General	Objects
   Title: Name of the equipment.	Mandatory	Optional
   Equipment type: Select the type of the device.	Active power: The actual consumed or delivered power. Unit = W (Watt) or kW. Select all the power group addresses for the aggregated equipment.	Device status: It maps the KNX object status register of the equipment. The status is displayed in the plugin: 1 = ok/0 = failure. Select all the status group addresses for the aggregated equipment.
   Rooms: Select your room.	Energy taken: The total cumulative active energy consumed by equipment. Select all the energy group addresses for the aggregated equipment.

   NOTE: Fill in the same number of group addresses into the Active power and Energy taken fields. Maximum limit: 10 group addresses per field.
   
   Virtual equipment address = collectively represents the individual aggregated addresses from the Objects tab so you can see them all as one piece of equipment in the Energy plugin and the application. Fill in only one item in each box.

4. Click Save.

The Aggregated equipment appears as an item on the equipment list of the Energy plugin. The mapped Aggregated equipment is available in (new tab) at the bottom right of the mobile app.
