Cold Room

Cold storage room with temperature monitoring, compressor cycling, and door state tracking.

Cold storage room with temperature monitoring, compressor cycling, and door state tracking. Send readings for this device type with the field names in the metrics table. Every table on this page is generated from the platform, so it matches what the ingest service accepts today.

Metrics#

These are the registered field names for the data object. A reading may carry any subset. A missing field is not an error, so a device can report one value at a time. Any field you send that is not listed here is a custom data point. Custom data points appear on dashboards. They never drive alerts or forecasts.

Cold Room metric fields
FieldTypeRequiredUnitDescription
temperaturenumberYesCInternal ambient temperature
humiditynumberNo%Relative humidity inside the room
doorOpenbooleanNoDoor open/closed state
compressorRunningbooleanNoCompressor on/off state
defrostActivebooleanNoDefrost cycle in progress
powernumberNokWPower consumption

Configuration#

Configuration is set on the device in the app. It is not sent with a reading. It tells Logable how to read the values, for example which unit a weight is in.

Cold Room configuration fields
