Sensors
Sensors connected to the AC Power Switch will appear the AC Power Switch's web interface in the
order connected. Your AC Power Switch will automatically recognize the sensor type (temperature,
humidity, air flow, etc.) and populate the Sensor ID and Unit (shown below as "Temperature Units")
fields. To configure a sensor, simply fill in your description, thresholds, and other fields listed in the table
below, then click
Save
.
Note:
If your unit includes an internal temperature sensor, it will automatically appear in row 1.

Sensor ID
The ID number found on the sticker on the temperature sensor node. Your
AC Power Switch
will automatically detect the sensor ID when you plug a sensor into the unit. The color of the
sensor ID field will tell you the status of the connected sensor.
