Triggering Activity Types with Sensors

If there is an interface to an occupancy data system (sensors), it is possible to trigger individual activity types when a limit (treshold) is reached.

Functionality

If the treshold (limit) defined in the Cockpit for an activity type is reached, that activity type is triggered and displayed to the cleaning staff depending on the settings configured in the app.

Settings

In order for activity types to be triggered by sensors, the following perequisites must be met:

• Sensors: The sensors must be installed in the desired rooms/areas and must be sending events.
• Interface: The interface to the occupancy data system must be created by our development team. Please contact Customer Support to request this.
• Sesnor assignment: The sensors must be assigned to the corresponding areas in the Cockpit under IoT Device Assignment
• Activity Type: The Activity Type to be triggered - specifically, the Type Cleaning without scheduling - must be created and activated for the corresponding area types.

Once this settings are in place, further configurations can be made in the Cockpit under IoT Devices > Activity type assignment level by clicking the +New Configuration button.

Name

A name must be entered here for the configuration. Since activity types can be assigned to multiple sensors with different treshold values, we recommend choosing a specific name to simplify the assignment to the sensor.

Treshold Value

Enter the treshold value (limit) here; when this value is reached, the activity type must be triggered.

Clearing type

For this step, you must know what information the sensor sends, as the clearing type depends on this:

• If the sensor reports events (e.g., motion sensors) = Clearing type Add up
• If the sensor reports actual values (e.g., fill levels) = Clearing type Overwritte

No Button

If there is a button panel on-site that can be used to trigger the activity type, the checkbox here must be unchecked. An additional setting, Button number, will appear; here, you must specifiy the button number used to trigger the activity.

Push message

If this setting remains enabled, cleaning will be scheduled directly into the current route when the treshold is reached. If the setting is disabled, cleaning will be scheduled for the next route start when the treshold is reached.

Multiple notification

If cleaning has been triggered but not yet completed, and the treshold value is reached again in the meantime, this setting allows you to define whether another notification should be displayed in the app.

Execute regular event handling in addition

If this setting is disabled, only the assigned activity type is triggered when the treshold value is reached. If this setting is enabled, events are counted for all activity types on the area type.

Activity Type

Here, use the dropdown menu to select the activity type that should be triggered.

The created configuration can now be assigned to the sensor in the IoT Devices tab. To do this, click the three-dot menu to the right of the corresponding sensor, select Adjust activity type assignment, and choose the desired configuration.
