How it is wired
Sensors report to a gateway, which forwards to Thingsform over MQTT. What sets the platform apart is the lower line: the command goes back to the equipment.

What the platform does with these readings
The dashboard is only the visible part: each metric can carry a threshold, drift detection and a command in return.
Hot aisle
22–38 °C- Threshold outside the 22–38 °C range
- Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
- Command sent back to the device over MQTT or Modbus
Humidity
35–55 %- Threshold outside the 35–55 % range
- Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
- Correlation with the site's other readings
PUE
1.10–2.20- Threshold outside the 1.10–2.20 range
- Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
- Correlation with the site's other readings
CRAC load
20–95 %- Threshold outside the 20–95 % range
- Slow drift, spotted before the threshold is crossed
- Correlation with the site's other readings
Start with the Data center dashboard
It ships configured. Connect your sensors over MQTT, HTTP or Modbus, and your values take the place of these.
