FAQ
The Rhino energy monitoring solution is a separate platform from Swift Sensors monitoring solutions. The platforms are not natively integrated. Each platform comprises a distinct set of hardware and cloud software, and a monitoring plan.
In the event of failures or overruns of various types, you will immediately receive a text message and an email with the notification, any time of day or night. By responding quickly, you will minimize the losses caused by the malfunction.
The only thing you need to do is set alerts for any meter or group of meters beforehand. You can choose the alert threshold and the time of day when you wish to receive the alerts. Remember that a single meter or group of meters can be assigned more than one threshold that will trigger a notification to be sent to you when the threshold is reached.
In the notification, you will receive information about which meter the failure was detected on, at what time, what the critical threshold was set to and what value was read. In addition, once the exceedance stops, you will receive a notification that the value has returned to a safe level.
Yes, the configured utility consumption report is ready to be downloaded and/or sent automatically, once or periodically, from your locations on the first day of each month to the email addresses specified in the app. If you wish, reports can be sent weekly or even daily – you configure the report yourself.
You can also use our help to prepare the report.
Yes, the Rhino Platform allows you to share selected data. In your admin panel, assign a rank to the person you want to share the data with and indicate which meters and/or modules you want the tenant (customer) to track in order to monitor their consumption in real time.
The authorization to assign a rank, i.e. to pass on access to the data, is given to the customer’s administrator or, at your request, to a Rhino specialist. This helps to protect your consumption data.
Yes, the Rhino platform gives you 24/7 access to the consumption data from any meter in any location. The main dashboard provides quick access to the latest values read off your meters in the last 15 minutes. In addition, you can check consumption for the current month and compare it with the previous one. This shows you instantly whether you are consuming more or less utilities.
There is also an energy dashboard at your disposal, which will help you prepare the ‘E’ part of your ESG report. This dashboard allows you to keep track of the most important current parameters, e.g. those from the main meter or analyzer, and compare median profile and consumption values with historical data.
Yes. If you do not have a single master meter that measures the total consumption of circuits within, for example, a single room or area leased by one tenant, or a selected segment of the building, you can create a virtual meter, which will show the sum of selected sub-meters. This way you will obtain a single value for a room or tenant without having to manually add up individual values from separate sub-meter.
