Create and Use Treshold Values to Find Deviations

Creating a selection based on treshold values is one of the most effective ways to find faults, inefficiencies, or unwanted behavior in your sites. By setting up specific criteria, you can proactively discover deviations that require your attention.

How to Create a Treshold Value Selection

1. Start by creating a new selection in the Meters menu.
2. In the interface, expand the Tresholds section.
3. Select the parameter you want to monitor (e.g., "Return temperature").
4. Choose a comparison operator (e.g., > or <).
5. Fill in the numerical value (e.g., 75 °C).
6. Specify how long the condition should apply (e.g., "for one day").
7. Select a time period to monitor (e.g., "Last 24 hours").

Examples of What You Can Find

A treshold value selection can help you quickly identify a variety of problems. Here are some examples of what you can search for, depending on your metering equipment:

• High return temperatures: Uncover inefficiencies in your district heating network.
• Zero consumption: Find faulty meters that are not reporting data.
• Meters running backwards: Identify meters with incorrect flow direction.
• Very high energy consumption: Detect abnormally high consumption at specific locations.
• Hot/cold apartments: Get an overview of temperature deviations in properties.
• Water leaks: Detect unusually high water flows that may indicate a leak.
• Poor network communication: Create a threshold based on RSSI to find meters with poor signal strength. This allows you to proactively address network issues before they lead to data loss.

These examples are just a few of the many possibilities that treshold value selections provide to streamline your monitoring.
