Scenarios
Scenarios are automations that allow you to program actions on your equipment based on specific conditions. They offer great flexibility to automatically manage your installations.
What is a Scenario?
A scenario is a sequence of actions that executes automatically when certain conditions are met. It allows you to:
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Optimize your equipment operation
- Create complex logic adapted to your needs
- Save time by programming intelligent behaviors
Operating Principle
Scenarios work according to a simple logic:
- Definition: You create your scenario with an intuitive visual interface (the canvas)
- Storage: The scenario is saved in the database
- Synchronization: The scenario is transferred to the equipment
- Execution: The equipment executes the scenario according to the conditions defined in real-time
Input/Output Types (IO)
Your equipment has different types of inputs and outputs:
Inputs (Sensors):
- Digital Input: On/off sensors (presence detector, switch)
- Analog Input: Continuous measurements (light, humidity, pressure)
- PT1000 Input: High-precision temperature probes
Outputs (Actuators):
- Digital Output: ON/OFF commands (relays, solenoid valves)
- Analog Output: Variable commands (drives, proportional valves)
Architecture
Scenarios are composed of blocks that you assemble visually:
Logic Blocks
These 7 blocks constitute the structure of your automations:
- IF - Logic conditions
- AND / OR - Logic operators to combine conditions
- ACTION - Actions to execute
- TIMER - Time delays
- PARAMETER - Reusable variables
- ALERT - Notifications (Email/SMS)
Sensor Blocks
Represent the physical inputs/outputs of your equipment:
- Digital inputs - Detectors, switches (ON/OFF)
- Analog inputs - Measurement sensors (light, humidity, etc.)
- PT1000 inputs - High-precision temperature probes
- Digital outputs - Relays, solenoid valves (ON/OFF)
- Analog outputs - Drives, proportional valves (continuous values)
User Guide
This guide is divided into three main sections to support you in using scenarios:
📋 Scenario Management
Learn how to manage your scenarios: creation, modification, deletion, activation and deactivation from your equipment's "Scenario" tab.
🎨 Creation Interface (Canvas)
Discover the visual interface to create and modify your scenarios, with a detailed presentation of all available blocks and their features.
🔄 Equipment Synchronization
Understand how to synchronize your scenarios between the database and equipment, manage differences and keep your automations up to date.
Getting Started
If you're new to scenarios, we recommend following this guide in order:
- Start by understanding scenario management
- Familiarize yourself with the creation interface
- Learn how to synchronize your scenarios
Don't hesitate to experiment! You can create test scenarios and disable them to try them without impacting your installation.
