Task 11: Multi-Building Reports about bmon HOT 3 CLOSED

Color value in Red if it is outside of normal range for sensor. Develop a method to identify the normal range for each sensor, perhaps a Python expression that can include the values of other sensors and the values of Building variables such as mode (e.g. 'winter' or 'summer').

Perhaps include a simple text bar graph that ranges from the minimum to maximum value for the values in the report; one symbol (e.g. 'X') is the minimum and 20 symbols is the maximum. This would only work if the units are the same for all sensors.

Could have a parameter of the generic graph that filters the list down to the values that are outside the normal range or are not reporting.

Another multi-building chart could be sensors that are not reporting. do some real-time analysis to determine the standard sensor interval, and then report it as not reporting if no value in the last 3x of that interval.

To condense the report vertically, use a format like:

Other Possible Multi-Building Reports

• Total Value across a period, most likely Energy or $, but could be any sensor that is a rate of use (e.g. flow ). This would first average the rate over the requested period and then multiply the average rate by the total time in the period. Would be nice to see as a graph or as a table, because it could be used for billing waste heat or energy usage if expressed as a table. Might be easiest to just display both in the output section, first the graph then the table. Or, do a table with the character bar graph (string of asterisks).
  • This might also be nice to have as a user-customizable chart. The user could pick the sensors from one building that they wanted to total. Perhaps we could mark units as to whether they should be totaled or averaged, as it makes no sense to total temperature in deg F.
