iSiteCentral (Source)
Collect grouped sensor readings from one selected iSiteCentral source device.
Setup
Prerequisites
Before setting up this integration, make sure the iSiteCentral project contains the source device or monitoring point you want to read. For grouped multi-channel devices, related sensor rows should use a consistent naming convention.
Credential Setup
Use iSiteCentral Credentials to create or select the credential for this integration. If it already exists in your workspace, select it instead of creating a new one.
Integration Setup
After selecting the iSiteCentral credential, configure the integration by selecting:
- Device Group - A generic group derived from iSiteCentral sensor names. This helps narrow the list of available source devices.
- Source Device - The grouped iSiteCentral device or monitoring point IMSURGE should read from.
iSiteCentral may expose each channel as a separate sensor row instead of one explicit multi-channel device. IMSURGE groups related rows into one source device when the iSiteCentral sensor catalog shows a consistent name-derived grouping.
Recommended iSiteCentral Naming Practices
For best results, related channels should share the same device base name and differ only by the final channel suffix.
Examples:
| Pattern | Example |
|---|---|
Device-Channel |
PAV-DMP2-C08-EE-Easting |
Device:Channel |
PAV-VM-C04:Peak X [in/s] |
Device_Channel |
PAV.SH-VTS-01_X |
Best practices:
- Keep the device base name consistent across all channels from the same physical device or monitoring point.
- Put the channel or metric name at the end of the sensor name.
- Use one delimiter style consistently within the same naming convention.
Limitations
- iSiteCentral does not expose an explicit parent device and channel relationship in the sensor catalog. IMSURGE derives grouping from sensor names.
- If IMSURGE cannot confidently identify a grouped source device, the sensor row is treated as its own source device.
- Each iSiteCentral source integration reads one selected Source Device and all channels associated with that device.
- IMSURGE imports the processed reading values returned by iSiteCentral. For displacement-style Easting, Northing, and Height channels, these values may represent deltas rather than absolute coordinates.
