IoT Monitoring

The IoT dashboard provides real-time visibility into the IoT sensors connected through RansNet edge routers — smart energy devices (plugs, sockets, switches, breakers) and environmental sensors (temperature, humidity). Sensors publish their readings over MQTT to the edge router, which forwards them across the SD-WAN to mfusion — see IoT Integration for the collection architecture.

Navigate to ORCHESTRATOR → Monitoring → Dashboard and select the IoT tab. Use the [Entity] button in the top-right corner to switch between entities.

IoT dashboard — sensor summary, per-family sections, and sensor table

IoT Summary

Three donut charts summarize the sensor population:

Chart Description
Sensors By State Online (actively reporting), Offline (no data received recently), or Never Seen (registered but no data yet)
Sensors By Type Sensor family mix — e.g., Smart Energy and Environment
Active Alerts By Severity Sensors with active trigger conditions, classified by severity (High, Warning, Information, None)

Below the summary, collapsible Smart Energy and Environment sections provide family-specific charts — expand each to view the distribution and trend panels for that sensor type.

Sensor Table

The table lists every sensor, with tabs to filter by family: All, Smart Energy, or Environment. Columns populate according to the sensor type — energy metrics for smart-energy devices, temperature/humidity for environmental sensors.

Column Description
Host/Alias The edge router the sensor reports through — click to open the host detail view
Sensor Sensor identifier (device MAC/ID)
Type Sensor type (e.g., Smart Plug, Environment Sensor)
State Online/Offline indicator
Relay Relay state (On/Off) for switchable smart-energy devices
Voltage (V) / Current (A) / Power (W) / Energy (kWh) Live electrical readings (smart-energy sensors)
Temperature (°C) / Humidity (%RH) Live environmental readings (environment sensors)
Usage History Opens the historical trend graph for the sensor
Update Time Timestamp of the last reading

Note

A sensor is marked Offline when no MQTT reading has been received for several minutes, and is removed from discovery if it stays silent — check the sensor's power and Wi-Fi connectivity, then the edge router's MQTT broker status. See Setup Smartplug Sensor for onboarding steps.
