1. Webinar Session - IML Layer
July 25, 2017

2. ORBEET SYSTEM IS COLLECTING DATA …

3. ORBEET IML Goal & Objectives
This layer is responsible for collecting energy use data from WSN devices and pre-processing them for Enhanced Operational Rating generation.
This data stream is captured automatically, appropriately processed, analysed and then fed into the OrbEEt Systemic Enterprise Operational Rating Engine and business processes Management Layer, addressing specific types of loads/sensors including:
ubiquitous loads, like HVAC and lighting, which even though triggered by business processes are however mostly driven by occupants’ personal preferences
office equipment loads directly linked and supporting the execution of everyday business activities and
environmental sensors, which capture context conditions (luminance, temperature & humidity) within premises

4. Why Z-wave
The Z-Wave protocol is a wireless RF-based communications technology designed specifically for control, monitoring and status reading applications in residential and light commercial environments. The protocol is specified by Z- wave Alliance and the specifications are not publicly available. It operates in the sub-1GHz band, is designed specifically for control and status apps, and supports data rates of up to 100kbps.

7. ORBEET IML Conceptual View

8. ORBEET IML Core Functionalities
The main functionalities of the Information Management Layer are considered from the reference architecture document:
Provision of interfaces with the physical environment, setting interconnections on the gateway level towards the extraction of data from WSN building environment.
Provision of a single point of access to data feeds and operations of individual loads via Web Services interface protocols.
Provision of an event-based model for data access for all system components.
Provision of semantically enhanced data context information according to OrbEEt’s Common Information Model.
Logging and local storage of data streams per device

9. ORBEET IML Database Schema

10. ORBEET IML Demo Presentation
The role of this Demo session is to enable end users to get familiar with the expert mode of the tool towards a quick monitoring of the WSN status. The steps of the demo session:
Connection to ORBEET VPN
Access GUI of IML layer
Access expert mode view of pilot site:
Asparrena Pilot Site
Erlangen Pilot Site
Pernik Pilot Site
BhoE Pilot Site

11. Real Life Deployment

12. Connection in ORBEET VPN
How to get connected in ORBEET VPN

13. Access GUI view of IML layer
This is the front end view of IML software component, enabling access to different functionalities over WSN installation. Configuration, recalibration, etc… The focus of this demo session is on maintenance/ continuous support of WSN installations.

14. Access expert mode view
Select Gear box (top right icon)  Devices button
Select “Expert UI” button and then “Go Ahead” button

15. Access expert mode view
Device Tab Status button for a quick overview of WSN status
Control Tab  Sensors button to get the last sensor value

16. Common issues and how to address
Energy metric not reported for a long period  Re configuration of smart plug sensor device
Configuration Tab  Selection of allocated sensor  Force Interview
Check “View Interview Result” for successful configuration

17. Common issues and how to address
Multi Sensor Device Reconfiguration
Network Tab  Control Button Remove Failed node (THIS IS the case where we need to reconfigure a Multi-sensor device if not reporting)
Inclusion process of the senor once again as defined in D3.1 manual about configuration of sensor devices.
