The temperature and Humidity can be mapped to Comfort Sensors eg

Setpoints for temperature and humidity can be set up, so that if the temperature or humidity exceeds the setpoints, an alarm can be triggered.

Comfort has an integration to the Home Assistant Platform see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum143/5577.html Home Assistant can be installed in a Respberry Pi. The Home Assistant User Interface can be accessed by Browser on any computer (PC, MAC, Linux) or on Mobile phone apps for iOS and Android. Notifications can be set up for registered Mobile phones when any temperature or humidity alarm occurs.

The current sensor value for Temperature and Humidity can be displayed on the Dashboard

Home Assistant also allows powerful graphing capabilities for the sensor values. The duration over which the sensor values can be selected eg 1 week, 1 month, and the time scale of the graphical display be adjusted as well as the vertical Axis scaling and units.

see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum139/4919.html for more info.

The temperature and Humidity can be mapped to Comfort Sensors eg

Similarly Water Leakage sensor values can be displayed if required.
The Sensor Data displayed on the graph can be exported to a csv file

This requires a UCM/Modbus-485 configured as a modbus Slave. The Modbus RTU (RS485) terminals are connected to the Modbus terminals of the SNMP to Modbus interface which acts as a Modbus Master. This has been tested in a CM9001-EMS system and works well. Let us know if any other information is required for this application.

WA01-0043 Water Leak Detection cable

In the above screenshot Water Leak Input 1 is mapped to Sensor 3 in CM9001-EMS and Water Leak Input 2 is mapped to Sensor 4 in CM9001-EMS
The cable in dry state has a high resistance. When the cable is wet the resistance drops corresponding to the degree of immersion. The cable resistance is inversely proportional to the Sensor value (0 to 255). For open circuit (Infinite resistance), the sensor value is 0 (or close to 0). when the resistance decreases, the Sensor value increases. A threshold can be set in the Sensors screen of CM9001 so that when the sensor value exceeds the threshold, the assigned Virtual Input is activated, thus triggering the associated alarm.
For example, if the sensor value is 40 units when the cable is wet, the sensor setpoint can be set to 20. The setpoint for water leak input 1 is in Counter 3. This setpoint can be changed in KP04A

Detection of Water Leakage Cable Break
It is possible to trigger a Zone Trouble alarm if the water leak detection cable is broken or not connected. This is achieved by connecting the 100 Kohms (supplied with the cable) at the far end of the cable. Make sure that the resistor with the cable does not get wet. The principle of operation is similar to the End-of-line resistor in CM9001 Inputs/Zones, where CM9001 is able to trigger a Zone Trouble alarm if the end of line resistors are installed and there is a cable break. For water leak cable break detection, only 1 EOL resistor (100K) is required (without the series resistor). This is a different value from that used in the double EOL resistors in CM9001.
If the 100K End-of-line resistor is connected at the end of the dry cable, the sensor value should be around 60 counts. If the cable is wet the sensor reading should be 100 or more. Hence the Setpoint for water detection should be around 80 counts. The threshold for cable break should be around 30 counts (midway between 0 and 60). To set this, go to Comfort Registers > Sensors and select the Sensor assigned to the water leakage detector ie Sensor 3 and 3 (for WD Input 1 and 2 respectively). In Scaling Type, select Ã¢â¬ÅResidual OffsetÃ¢â¬Â, and enter the value of 30 in the Scaling factor. See screenshot below. This has already been set up in the defmsm.cctx template. Write to MSM01, and test that when the cable is disconnected, a Zone Trouble alarm is triggered. The Zone Trouble alarm can be programmed to dial to any combination of the 16 phone numbers.

an internal Temperature Sensor,

an internal Humidity Sensor,

2 Water Leakage Cable Inputs,

4 Digital Inputs for External equipment failure monitoring.

The MSM01 provides the sensor values and External Input events to CM9001-EMS Environmental Monitoring System. CM9001-EMS can be set up to trigger alarms, dial out and and send SMS messages to programmed telephones.
See https://www.cytech.biz/product_details.php?item_id=505 for the CM9001-EMS Manual and Brochure
MSM01 Webpage https://www.cytech.biz/brochure/msm.html

The default template for EMS with MSM01 is defmsm.cctx

The MSM01 Sensors tab is shown below;

MSM01 Mapping
Temperature Sensor
Map the Internal Temperature Sensor value to a CM9001 Sensor Register. Select a Sensor Register 0 to 31. The CM9001 Sensor register will be constantly updated with the internal Temperature in degrees Celsius. In the default template, the Temperature is mapped to Sensor 1 named Ã¢â¬ÅSens01-Temp1Ã¢â¬Â.

Temp Sensor Change Report This is the minimum change in temperature value before a new value is reported by MSM01 to CM9001. For example a value of 1 means that any change of value >1 will be reported to CM9001. This is to reduce the number of reports to CM9001 if the number of changes is expected to be high. Set to 0 to report any change of value.

Humidity Sensor

Map the Internal Humidity Sensor value to a CM9001 Sensor Register. Select a Sensor Register 0 to 31. The CM9001 Sensor register will be constantly updated with the internal Humidity in % RH. In the default template, the Humidity is mapped to Sensor 2 named Ã¢â¬ÅSens02-Humid1Ã¢â¬Â.

Humidity Sensor Change Report

This is the minimum change in humidity value before a new value is reported by MSM01 to CM9001. For example a value of 1 means that any change of value >1 will be reported to CM9001. This is to reduce the number of reports to CM9001 if the number of changes is expected to be high. Set to 0 to report any change of value.

Water Leakage (1-2)
This applies to Water Leak Inputs 1 and 2.Map the Water Leakage Sensor value to a CM9001 Sensor Register. Select a Sensor Register 0 to 31. The CM9001 Sensor register will be constantly updated with the Water Leakage sensor value. In the default template, Water Leak Input 1 is mapped to Sensor 3 named Ã¢â¬ÅSens03-Water1, and Water Leak Input 2 is mapped to Sensor 4 named Ã¢â¬ÅSens04-Water2Ã¢â¬Â.

Water Leak (1-2) Sensor Change Report
This is the minimum change in sensor value before a new value is reported by MSM01 to CM9001. For example a value of 1 means that any change of value >1 will be reported to CM9001. This is to reduce the number of reports to CM9001 if the number of changes is expected to be high. Set to 0 to report any change of value.

Input (1-4) Function
This applies to the 4 external Inputs 1 to 4. Select a Function for the Input; Digital, or 0-10V

Digital Input means the Input is a Normally Open voltage-free contact, . This is used to connect external inputs from equipment to indicate some failure or Fault. The Digital Input is mapped to a CM9001 Zone 1 to 96 as virtual Input.
0-10V means an analog input from 0 to 10 volts is connected to the Input. This voltage value is mapped to a CM9001 sensor in the range 0 to 255. 0 V = sensor value 0 and 10V = 255
Input (1 Ã¢â¬â 4) (Sensor or Virtual Input)
For Digital Input, select a CM9001 Zone/Input as Virtual Input. A Virtual Input is like a Physical Input on CM9001 Ã¢â¬â it has Zone Type Properties, and triggers an Alarm Type which has up to 16 phone numbers assigned for dial out. Virtual Inputs are a powerful mechanism for activating Alarms based on sensors values. A Zone/Input that is assigned as a Virtual Input will ignore its physical input terminal.

In the default defmsm.cctx file, MSM Inputs 1 to 4 are mapped to UPS Fail, Aircon Fail, CRAC and FM200 respectively. These can be changed as required,

Show Status
When checked the real time values of the assigned sensors and Input registers can be seen, as shown in the screenshot below.

View and change Setpoints
Enable or disable setpoints

Sensor values can be obtained from the following sources;

MSM01 Temperature/Humidity Sensor Module
KP04AET keypad with Temperature Sensor
TSM01 Temperature Sensor
IRIO01 with ISM01 submodules with Temperature Sensor External Interface by UCMs eg KNX, Cbus, Modbus

In Comfigurator Modules Tab, Right click on the left pane and scan for modules to detect the KP04A. KP04AE and KP04ET are shown as KP04A. Check that the KP04A firmware is 7.014 or above. If so you should be able to see Alarm/EMS Mode and Prevent Changes under the KP04A Properties category.

By default the Keypad is in Alarm Mode. It can be changed to EMS mode by selecting EMS in the Alarm/EMS drop-down list.
Ã¢â¬ÅPrevent ChangesÃ¢â¬Â: if set to True, this prevents users from making any changes to the setpoints or enable/disable settings.
The Alarm/EMS Mode can be changed to EMS only if the Controller is CM9001-EMS. If the Alarm/EMS Mode is changed to EMS then up to 4 sensors can be assigned to the KP04A as shown below;

In the example above Sensors 1,2,6,10 are assigned to the 4 sensors. The properties of the 4 sensors are shown in the Properties window for each sensor;

Sensor Number: The Sensor number selected
Setpoint Counter: The Counter assigned to hold the setpoint (in Sensors Table)
Max Setpoint: Maximum allowed value of the setpoint (in Sensors Table)
Min Setpoint: Minimum allowed value of the setpoint (in Sensors Table)
Units: The Units eg degrees, %, lux, W, mW (in Sensors Table)
Enable Flag: The Flag assigned to Enable/Disable setpoint (in Sensors)
Description: 16 characters to describe the Sensor (in Sensors Table)

Note that the properties above are Read-Only, and cannot be changed in this screen. These parameters can be programmed in the CM9001-EMS Sensors Screen described in the previous section.

If less than 4 sensors are required, leave the remainng positions empty or unassigned. Do a Ã¢â¬ÅWrite to Keypad: after the sensors are selected.

KP04A Operation in EMS Mode
In EMS Mode, the numeric keys 0 to 9, *, # work the same way as in Alarm Mode, ie they can be used to disarm the system or to make selections in the Voice Menu. The Function keys in the right column have different functions in EMS Mode as follows;

Note The * key is used to enter setup mode in both EMS and Alarm Modes.
Hence in EMS Mode, the function keys cannot be used to arm the security system and the F key cannot be used to select Function key shortcuts. To enable Engineer Mode, instead of pressing F0, go to User Menu, 9 for Program menu, and press 3,4,1.

In EMS Mode, if no sensors have been assigned, then the following message will be seen. EMS mode is not necessary if there are no sensors too be monitored.

Pressing the AWAY (+) key will increment the setpoint and pressing the Night (-) key will decrement it. The display will revert to show the Setpoint/temperature if no buttons are pressed.

Pressing the Day key will Toggle, ie alternately disable and enable the setpoint. If the setpoint is disabled, the Setpoint is not shown, and only the sensor value is shown (see below). This means that there will be no sensor alarm for this sensor.

If the sensor value exceeds the Setpoint, then the Virtual Input defined in the CM9001-EMS Sensors screen is activated. Depending on the Zone Type and Alarm Type, this can trigger an Alarm and dial or SMS to the programmed numbers for the alarm type.

Humidity can also be displayed in one eof the 4 sensor slots as shown below with or without setpoint.

Virtual Inputs can be any unused Input in CM9001 up to Input 96. Virtual Inputs are programmed like physical Inputs ie assign to Zone Types, activate On/Of Responses. A Virtual Input will ignore any activity on the physical input itself.

Each Sensor can be assigned to the following parameters;
Ã¢â¬ÅResponseÃ¢â¬Â: Response or program that is activated when there is a change in Sensor value. Leave as Null Response if not needed.
Ã¢â¬ÅCounterÃ¢â¬Â: CM9001-EMS has 32 Counters. The Counter holds the Setpoint. Changing the Counter value similarly changes the setpoint. This allows setpoints to changed programatically from other events. Counters are non-volatile ie the value is maintained even when power and battery are removed.

Ã¢â¬ÅVirtual InputÃ¢â¬Â: When the Sensor Value exceeds the Setpoint (Counter value), the Virtual Input is activated. A virtual Input behaves just like a physical input, ie it has a Zone Type which triggers an Alarm Type. In Alarms > Zones, the Virtual Input setting is seen. Note that a Virtual Input will ignore anything that is connected to the Input terminal. A Virtual Input need not be on the CM9001, Slave or Local Expansion Modules so that it does not use up a Physical input.
Ã¢â¬ÅEnable FlagÃ¢â¬Â: A Comfort Flag can be assigned to Enable or Disable the Sensor function. A Flag is a Binary element, it has 2 values Off (0) or On (1). CM9001 has 254 Flags numbered 1 to 254. If a Flag is assigned to the sensor, setting the Flag (to 1) will enable the Sensor comparison, and clearing the Flag (to 0) will disable the Sensor comparison. If the sensor is disabled, the comparison with the counter setpoint will not take place and the Virtual Input becomes 0 (off)

Ã¢â¬ÅShow StatusÃ¢â¬Â; Checking this box will show the real time state of the Sensor, Counter, Flag and Virtual Input, provided the CM9001-EMS is connected. The values of Counter and Flag (but not Sensor) can be changed by entering the value in the fields (Setpoint Value and Flag State), which is very useful for testing as it allows changing of Setpoint and enable/disable of the function.

The order of the adjustments on the raw sensor value due to the above factors is;

Sensor Response
Scaling Factor
Calibration
Comparison with Counter

Counters
Setpoints for each sensor are kept in Counter Registers. There are 32 Counters in CM9001-EMS which may be assigned. The Setpoint for each sensor can be set or changed by entering a value in the corresponding Counter. If a Counter is not assigned to a sensor that means the sensor is for monitoring only, and Virtual Alarm and alarm will not be triggered by the sensor, and KP04A wiill omly show the sensor value without setpoint. Counters are non-volatile, ie they maintain their value even after loss of power. The Counter value may be changed in KP04A using the Increment (Lock) and Decrement (Moon) keys.

Flags
Flags can be assigned to a sensor. A Flag has a binary state, ie it is either On or Off. A Flag which is assigned to a Sensor is used to enable or disables the Setpoint. Input. In KP04A if the sensor is monitored, pressing the SUN Key alternately enables and Disables the Virtual Input. If disabled, the sensor is displayed only without any setpoint. Flags are non-volatile, ie they maintain their value even after power off.If a Flag is not assigned to the Sensor, the Setpoint is enabled.

Virtual Inputs

Virtual Inputs can be any unused Input in CM9001 up to Input 96.
A Virtual Input behaves just like a physical input, ie it has a Zone Type which triggers an Alarm Type, and activates On and Off Responses. In Alarms > Zones, the Virtual Input setting is seen. Note that a Virtual Input will ignore anything that is connected to the Input terminal. A Virtual Input need not be on the CM9001, or installed Slave or Local Expansion Modules so that it does not use up a Physical input.
]]> Each Sensor is compared to a Setpoint, which is held in a Counter, so that if the sensor value exceeds the setpoint, a Virtual Input is activated, thus causing an alarm. Virtual Inputs can be any unused Input in CM9001 up to Input 96. Virtual Inputs are programmed like physical Inputs ie assign to Zone Types, activate On/Of Responses. A Virtual Input will ignore any activity on the physical input itself.

Notification of alarm is via dial-out to a maximum of 16 phone numbers for Voice announcements or SMS messages. The Eth03 email feature is not recommended for EMS (as it is more suited to Intruder Alarm

8 outputs on the system can be programmed to control equipment via relays or to send Infrared signals to control air-conditioning systems.

CM9001-EMS is a modular system which allows easy expansion of functions, Input/Outputs, and external interfaces like Modbus, KNX and C-Bus, or RS232 and RS485 interfaces.

CM9001-EMS is based on the same proven reliable hardware as Comfort, but firmware is specially developed for Monitoring of sensors and dial out voice announcement or SMS for alarms. An Industrial wordlist/vocabulary is installed instead of the Residential wordlist for voice announcement.

CM9001-EMS has enhanced Sensor Registers. The Sensor registers can be have Setpoints in Counter registers so that when the Sensor value exceeds the setpoint, a Virtual Input can be turned on which then activates one of 31 alarm types

The MSM01 Multi-sensor Module has Build in Temperature and Humidity Sensors that are mapped to Sensors in CM9001-EMS. 2 external Water Leak Detector cables can be connected to MSM01 to monitor water leakage in server rooms. There are also 4 external Inputs for connection to external equipment for failure event detection. The sensors when the value exceeds to setpoints cause alarms in CM9001-EMS
Details of each of the features will be described in other posts in this forum

The Optional UCM/GSM4 can be used to send SMS to a maximum of 16 phone numbers in the event of any alarm. Each Type of Alarm grouped by Machine, or Sensor type can dial out to a maximum of 16 Phone numbers by SMS or by voice call to announce the alarm information. CM9001-EMS also has a built-in dialer for voice calls by landline telephone lines.
