How to map devices to floorplan component
Creating a Space
Akenza uses building models from smplrspace.com to display sensor values in 2D and 3D building models. Therefore, create an organization with smplrspace.com and create your space there. You'll later import this space into the akenza floorplan dashboard component.
Mapping assets
Once your space has been created and furnished you'll map assets to the model. This is a prerequisite for displaying sensor data in the model.
In the "map assets" view. Create the following groups as needed:
Desk -> Furniture
Room -> Polygon
Sensor -> Point
Desk, Room and Sensor are keywords for the later mapping, so do not change the spelling.
Adding assets
Assets in the Desk group will be mapped to objects of type Furniture. Click "Add asset" to create a new mapping. Then name it (e.g. "A101") and select a furniture object to complete the mapping. Room and Sensor assets can be added in the same way.
Export mapping to .csv
Once you are done mapping your assets click "Export to CSV".
We're working on a feature to automate the upload process of this .csv file to akenza. In the mean time please get in touch with the akenza team and share this .csv file. We'll gladly store it in the right place on akenza for you.
Floorplan and asset mapping services
If your floorplan digitization is complex or you'd like to map a large number of devices, smplrspace offers services to complete these task for you for a fee.
Prepare akenza assets for mapping
Akenza assets will need a "Custom Field" matching the naming of assets mapped to the smplrspace model.
Custom field:
SpaceId -> mapped to Room
EquipmentId -> mapped to Desk
SensorDesignId -> mapped to Sensor
SpaceId, EquipmentId and SensorDesignId are keywords. For a successful mapping do not change the spelling.
Add floorplan component
Settings
Once you created your building model over at smplrspace.com you will need to enter your Smplrspace Organization ID, Space ID and Token to load your model into the floorplan component on akenza.
Getting the Organization ID and Token
The Organization ID can be found in the "Developers" tab. At the same location you'll be able to create a Token to copy into the floorplan component settings.
Getting the Space ID
The Space ID can be copied from the Space card inside the smplrspace application.
Once the model is loaded click "Sync metadata" to sync devices. A prerequisite for this is the previous .csv mapping file upload to akenza as described above. On successful sync the number of mapped devices will be displayed.
Source
In the source tab select the layer and datapoint you'd like to plot. Here you can also further refine how the sensor data is displayed in the model.
Define layer name: Begin by assigning a name to the layer you wish to display.
Select a layer type to display: Choose the specific layer you want to view from the available list of layers.
Filter Devices by Tag (Optional): To narrow down the devices displayed, apply filters based on device tags, if necessary.
Select Data Point to Display: Choose which data point you want to display on the selected layer.
Set Aggregation Type: Finally, configure the aggregation type (e.g., average, sum, etc.) for the selected data point to refine how the information is presented.
