We are constantly improving our Platform with new features, add-ons, and updates to existing ones. In the last months, we have released many new updates to Edge, our self-learning AI engine and cloud service.
1. Sensor selection
Selecting the best reference sensors to help with building optimization and achieve a stable indoor climate for tenants can be time-consuming. A building is very dynamic, and indoor temperatures are influenced by many factors that should often be ignored when optimizing the heating system.
To help with this task, we now introduce an automatic selection of reference sensors. This continuously evaluates the temperature characteristics of all sensors and selects the most suitable ones for optimization.
The feature can be turned on or off, depending on your needs. When off, you can still manually select which sensors are used for reference, like before.
This feature is available for all Edge plans.
2. Peak Control steering visualization
Our Peak Control reduces power loads by balancing the heat in your building in advance. This is done by proactively adding heat before a peak and avoiding energy use during the expensive peaks in the distribution. To illustrate how the steering works, we have introduced a graph showing how the load shifts in time steering visualization.
That way, you can see more clearly when the heat is added, and energy is avoided according to the temperature peaks.
This is an add-on to Edge. Read more about Peak control here.
3. Export of alarm cards
Alarm cards are a great way to aggregate and emphasise issues in your portfolio. We have now introduced the option to export all active alarms from the cards to Excel. This makes it easier to work with current issues and plan for actions in a structured way with tools you already use.
This feature is available for all Edge plans.
4. Search in building tree
Sometimes, you need to quickly reach a specific building and might not know how the portfolio is structured. To improve the experience and make this easier, we have introduced a search field in the building tree. Simply write the name of the building, and it will appear immediately.
This feature is available for all Edge plans.
5. Insights face-lift
To make it easier to find reports in Edge Insights, we have added a search and improved the presentation of available reports and your personal favourites.
This feature is available for all Edge plans.
6. New Edge app
We have a new Edge app ready for download. The Edge app lets you monitor and control your connected buildings with your mobile phone. You can stay on top of deviations and remote-control temporary heating adjustments. You can also get real-time data on temperature and humidity and monitor efficiency with real-time building performance.
It is directly connected to the Edge platform, and you can log in by using the same e-mail and password that you use on your Edge device.
The Edge mobile app is available for iOS and Android
You can log in to the app directly using the same e-mail and password that you use on the Edge device
Note: You'll need to download the new Edge mobile app and delete the old Edge app. Don't worry; you will not lose any of your data.
