Typical User Scenarios
These scenarios may typically occur in real installations (the list is not exhaustive):
|
Scenario |
Action |
|
1. A user wants to stop monitoring a household appliance (e.g., a washing machine) and wants to remove it from history. |
An installer deletes the respective equipment in the Energy plugin. By doing so, the historical data will be deleted forever. |
|
2. A user wants to stop monitoring a household appliance (e.g., a washing machine) but wants to preserve its history. |
An installer deletes the power and the energy - the KNX objects of the respective equipment. |
|
3. A user decides to replace the monitoring of one household appliance (e.g., a washing machine) with another (e.g., a dryer) using the same energy meter (e.g., smart socket). |
An installer physically disconnects the monitored household appliance and connects the other household appliance. Then the installer creates new Energy consumer equipment and maps the respective KNX objects. If a user wants to preserve the history of the recently monitored household appliance, follow Scenario 2; otherwise, follow Scenario 1. |
|
4. An energy meter linked to monitored equipment is broken down and needs a replacement. |
An installer replaces the damaged energy meter and commissions a replacement meter to the controller. In the Energy plugin, the installer maps KNX objects of the new energy meter to the monitored equipment. |
