What is sensor mapping?

Sensor mapping will help you customize WellCube for your specific office layout and needs. Sensor mapping allows the data collected from the Sense+ devices to get mapped to spaces with Air devices in them that the Sense+ is associated with, so the Air devices can intelligently respond to what’s being detected, even without the full sensor suite. You’re essentially applying the data from a single sensor to multiple spaces.

It’s another way to achieve localized air purification and robust IEQ sensing, since the addition of Sense+ devices can provide sensor data to those Air devices for a similar outcome as all Air+ devices.

When would I use sensor mapping?  

Sensor mapping may be used when WellCube Air devices are leveraged in an open office setting and a Sense+ device is mounted in the same open office area. The Sense+ device gets mapped to the same space as the Air devices, in order to provide additional sensing capabilities. 

We don’t recommend this for offices or huddle rooms, because these rooms are enclosed spaces and don’t share the same airflow; instead, this is ideal for open offices that have been virtually segmented into smaller spaces, since the air quality tends to be more uniform throughout the open space. 

How does sensor mapping get set up?

You and your technical sales manager can select spaces for sensor mapping when you’re in system design. When your technical sales manager is in system design, they'll be able to help map the devices and spaces appropriately. They will follow the steps below. We strongly recommend contacting your technical sales manager before attempting this yourself. 

1. Start by selecting the space in which you’d like to map sensing capabilities into. Here we’re selecting an open space with WellCube Air devices, which is the neighboring space to another open space with a WellCube Sense+ device. We want to map the data from the Sense+ to the space with the Air devices for supplemental data collection and algorithmic enhancements.
   
   
2. In the properties panel, go to the sensor mapping section. Locate the pollutant or sensing capability you’d like to map from a neighboring space into this space.
   
   
3. Click ‘Add a sensor’ here and you’ll see a list of devices that have the sensing capability you’re looking for to map into this space.
   
   
4. Select the device and you’ll successfully have mapped the device’s sensing capability into the space.

Once devices are commissioned, the devices within this space will leverage the newly mapped sensing capability in their operating algorithms and improve the operation of the system within the open space.
