GPE Climate Monitor Dashboard
1. Climate monitor dashboard
For your convenience, a climate monitor dashboard is available. The dashboard immediately shows the status of your greenhouse climate. Deviations are recorded and clearly displayed. You can find this dashboard by going to the list of dashboards and then selecting GPE climate monitor.
The dashboard contains three graphs, which are explained in more detail in the sections below. The top graph shows the "percentage correct" (daily quantity) of your greenhouse climate. Is your greenhouse climate out of balance? The gauges immediately indicate which limits are exceeded. Is the gauge red? This means that that particular growth factor is out of balance. This information is also displayed in the graph next to the gauges, which shows last week's trend and where you can see when factors are structurally out of balance. This way, you know exactly which limits are exceeded and you can adjust your climate settings where necessary.
1.1 Percentage in balance
The top graph shows the "percentage correct" (daily amount) of your greenhouse climate. The graph shows four lines, namely: radiation (mol or J/cm²), greenhouse temperature, humidity and CO₂.
Whether these four lines are in balance can be seen by the green bars in the background. If the green bars go up, your climate is currently in balance. If they go down, your climate is out of balance. The green bars are a sum of the percentage of time your climate was in balance on that day. Every day at 00:00 the percentage in balance starts at 100% provided all three factors are in balance. If the climate is in balanced all day, the green bars cover the background of the graph entirely and you achieve a final score of 100%.
1.2 Gauges
When you open the dashboard, the gauges show the last reading. As soon as you hover over the graph, the gauges react to it and switch to the time you select with your cursor (leave it for a few seconds). The gauge on the top left shows you your real-time balance at that moment. In the example below, it is green and therefore balanced. The gauge next to it is red. This is because the temperature is 22.2 and the limits are 16- 19. The humidity was in balance, but the CO₂ is red again and thus out of balance (measured CO₂ 466 limit, 700-1000).
1.3 Average status grouped by hour (one week)
In this graph, we show the hourly averages calculated for the past week. It gives you quick insight into which parameter was out of balance at which time ( in this case, average for the past week). The calculations for this graph are always done based on the selected period. If you view the graph for the past 24 hours then the average of the past 24 hours is shown, if you view the graph for the past three days, then the average of the past three days is shown, The red line shows the greenhouse temperature, the blue line the humidity and the brown lines the CO₂. When one of the lines is at 0, it means the reading was out of balance for 0% of the selected time in the past week. When the line reaches 1, it means the factor was out of balance 100% of the time.
