Home Room Page

The room page provides information and tools for managing a selected room and the devices inside it. In addition to the energy use graph, this page shows the PowerNode(s) configuration for the current room. Each PowerNode row shows an icon for each device connected to that PowerNode. If a port is not in use on the PowerNode, the device icon shows it as an open port. When you place the mouse over a device icon, the PowerNode icon to the left shows that device's port location on the PowerNode.

To explore information about the selected room:

  1. The chart in the top panel shows real-time energy consumption for all of the devices connected to the PowerNode(s) in the selected room. Drag the bottom slider back and forth to see earlier and later time periods of energy use. If you drag an end of the slider, you can expand or reduce the time period that is in view for the graph.
  2. Click the View Details link on the chart to open the Energy Detail page, which allows you to explore more information about your energy use.
  3. Compare your current usage against your average usage to the right of the chart.
  4. Compare the room's energy usage to other rooms under the Room Comparison panel. Click any of the time links under the chart to view the comparison for that time period.

To rename the room:

  1. Click the Edit button next to the room name at the top of the page.
  2. The Identify Rooms page opens, where you can rename the room.

To power on or off all devices in the selected room:

  1. Click the Power On button to power the devices on.
  2. Click the Power Off button to power the devices off.

To power on or off a specific device in the selected room:

  1. Identify the device you want to power on or off in the bottom panel of the page. The devices are listed with their corresponding PowerNodes.
  2. If the device is already powered on, the power icon to the top right of the device icon appears green. Click the icon to power the device off.
  3. If the device is off, you can click the power icon to power it on.

What information appears on the main energy consumption chart?

The main chart shows the room’s current and average energy consumption. The line graphs show the room’s energy consumption in watts over the time frame that appears at the bottom of the chart, allowing you to compare the room’s current usage against its average usage. The green line graph show you the room's current energy usage for each hour of the current day. The blue line graph shows you the room's average energy for the same time of day.
