Wattmon EMS

Upon purchase of an EMS subscription for your first Wattmon device, you will be provided the login credentials via email for logging into your Wattmon Energy Monitoring Solution account. These credentials will also be referred to as the administrator account, since they authorize you with complete editing privilege for the Subscriptions, Devices, and Dashboards.

Once you log into your new EMS account, you will notice a MENU to the right which lists three options under the GENERAL column - Dashboards, Reportingand Settings. Under these is the MY DEVICES column are two options - Active Devices and Inactive Devices.

To add your first Wattmon data logger to the EMS, you need to proceed to the options under the Settings drop-down menu and follow as per the steps outlined below.

1. Manage Subscriptions: In order to add your device, you first need to select the subscription that you wish to attribute to your Wattmon - this depends on two factors, the number of data points being logged on your Wattmon and the subscription balance available on your EMS account.

• Click on +Add New
• Select the Subscription Type from the drop-down menu
• Click on Create to save the subscription
• The new subscription will now be shown along with your other subscriptions

2. Manage Devices: Once the subscription is added, you may add your device as per the information needed on the page. The most important of these will be the MAC address of your Wattmon. To add the device, click on +Add New. Then fill out the details as below:

• Device MAC Address - Enter the MAC Address of your Wattmon Device
• Description - Site Name
• Site ID - A unique ID to be set as per your choice
• Device Type - Device Profile of the device, which determines the linking of data points and dashboard. In the case of this site, since it is identical to the previous one, you may select the same profile as that Wattmon.
• GPS Latitude - Latitude
• GPS Longitude - Longitude
• User Defined Field 1 - Free text field
• UTC Offset - Time zone of device
• Subscription - Link the newly created subscription as per the previous step.

If the site is online and pushing data to our server, it will be added immediately after selecting Apply Changes. After this, you may also add some optional Custom Variables, which will allow you to view the data much like in the previous site. You may copy the format of the Custom Variables from the other device.

After adding your device successfully, you may also choose to add custom parameters which may be used by you at your discretion and also by the auto-generated dashboards. We recommend adding the three stated below:

• ID: 1 – Name: date_installed – Value: enter the date the solar plant was charged
• ID: 2 – Name: inverter – Value: enter the make/model and number of inverters
• ID: 3 – Name: plant_size – Value: enter the numerical value in Kilowatts

3. Manage Device Profile and Data Points: In this step, you will select the parameters you wish to log on the EMS. In this case, since the profile is the same as the previous device you need only Apply Profile. Otherwise the following steps are to be followed.

• Select the parameters individually or all at once and then click on Update Logging to save settings.
• Select New Profile, enter and name and then click on Create.
• Select the newly created profile from the Device Profile drop-down. Take care to not select Apply Profile, instead click on Update Profile, which will apply the currently selected parameters to this new profile.
• The data points are now logged.

4. Manage Dashboards: Create a new dashboard and then proceed to select the device from Active Devices. Add the widgets as per your desire to set up the dashboard to lay out your data. You may also copy an existing dashboard from Manage devices and then change the Device Profile for that particular Dashboard, which will allow you to use a preexisting dashboard as a template.
