To use Occupancy Application, specific steps must be performed in Accounts and Data Setup. This chapter explains the steps and which data point tags are required.

While Desigo CC V5.1 or higher is recommended, Connect X200, Connect X300, Connect Box, PXC 4/5/7 and Desigo Optic can also be used.

  1. In Accounts, create user groups by following these steps:
  • Create a user group for Occupancy Application with the Occupancy app general user user role.
  1. Switch to Devices and add the required device.
  1. Switch to Data Setup.
  1. Create the building structure with floors and rooms. See Creating the building structure manually or Creating the building structure automatically.
  1. Create at least one piece of equipment for each room. See: Creating pieces of equipment.
    Example: For Discipline, select Comfort, for Type select Sensor.

The Occupancy Application will take the status of all assigned pieces of equipment when evaluating the room status. Triggering one sensor will modify the room status to occupied. This means that if you want to monitor different segments of an open space separately, you will have to represent this open space as multiple rooms and assign the equipment accordingly.

  1. Assign the relevant data points for the presence detection to all pieces of equipment. See: Managing data points
  1. Activate the data points.
  1. Assign tags to the data points by following these steps:
  • Go to Table.
  • From the dropdown list, select Data points.
  • In the search bar, enter the name for the data node or your preferred search criteria.
  • All data points with the required criteria are displayed in the table.
  • Select all data points.
  • Select Edit tags.
  • The Edit data point tags view displays.
  • Add the following haystack tags to the data points: Occupied and Sensor.
  • Change the status of the new tags to Published.
  • Select Save.

If you want to remove rooms from reports in the Occupancy Application, remove the tags from the presence detector data points.

To view floor plans in Occupancy Application, add a floor plan in Data Setup and assign the rooms from the structure to the floor plan. You can use all file formats which are supported by 2D floor plan editor.
