Creating software alarm rules

Create alarm rules in Energy Hub to monitor and alarm on electricity and utilities consumption and other energy system conditions.

NOTE: The functionality displayed in this topic might not be the same as what you see for your organization. Your Energy Hub feature plan subscription determines what functionality is available for this feature. For feature plan details, see Feature plans.

NOTE: For consumption alarms, Energy Hub considers the total consumption for a location. For example, for a location with multiple water meters, the water overconsumption alarm uses the sum of all the meters.

1. In Energy Hub, go to Investigate and select the Asset view or Energy view.
2. In the organization tree, select the location, device, or equipment that you want to create the alarm rule for.

   NOTE: Some alarms only apply to certain locations, devices, or equipment. For information on the applicability of alarms, see Energy Hub alarms (list)
