How to set an alarm on a meter
This guide shows how to set alarms for individual meters in Energinet and add recipients. Alarms can be used to warn about divergent or missing data based on a custom set-up of boundaries and time period.
- An overview of all the active alarms can be found in the 'Alarms'-tab on folder, building, energy block, and meter level. Click on the object and navigate to 'Alarms' to see these.
- You can set multiple alarms per meter, but not multiple missing data period alarms.
1. Click on 'Edit (Smart)Meter' in the settings (three dots) while hoovering on the meter
2. Go to the 'Alarm configuration' down on the page and click on 'Add alarm'
3. Afterwards you can choose to set one or multiple alarms:
- Period of missing data (step 3A).
- Meter values (e.g. min and/or max kWH) (step 3B).
- Peak high alarms (step 3C).
3A. Set a max period in days and/or hours before the system gives an alarm about missing data
- You can set only one missing data alarm.
3A. Click on 'Save'
3B. Set a minimum and/or maximum hourly/daily/weekly/monthly value for specific days and/or months.
- In the example below, this is for values in kWh.
- Note that the grey colour means a day/month is selected, and white indicates that a day/month is NOT selected (example below: Saturday and Sunday are NOT selected).
3B. Click on 'Save'
- Repeat step 3B to set multiple of these alarms
3C. Set a minimum and/or maximum daily/weekly/monthly Peak High-value for specific periods
- Note that the grey colour means a day/month is selected, and white indicates that a day/month is NOT selected
3C. Click on 'Save'
- Repeat step 3C to set multiple of these alarms.
