Sensor-Driven Channel

Configure Sensor-Driven Channel in HPzenAi Smart. Switches a relay from a sensor reading.

What it does

Any sensor reading can flip a channel.

Switches a relay from a sensor reading. Use this automation when the selected field devices should work together without repeated manual setup.

When

Trigger

The selected sensor crosses the configured threshold.

Default

Tank level drops below 30%

Choices

Tank level drops below20%30%40%Enter valueFlow rises above100 LPM200 LPM400 LPMEnter valueLoad rises above20 kW40 kW60 kWEnter value

Example: choose "Tank level drops below" and keep the default 30%, select another preset, or enter another value.

If

Condition

The sensor reading is recent and the relay channel is available.

Default

No condition

Choices

No condition

Example: leave No condition selected when the trigger alone should run the workflow.

Then

Action

Turn the relay channel on or off based on the configured action.

Default

Turn the channel on

Choices

Turn the channel onTurn the channel offOnly notify me

Example: choose "Turn the channel on" for the default then behavior.

Active

Allowed Time

Use All day for protection or a planned window for routine operation.

Default

All day

Choices

All dayDay (6 AM - 6 PM)Night (6 PM - 6 AM)

Example: keep All day for protection workflows, or choose Day or Night when operation should stay inside site hours.

Automation Details

Recommended use

Fans, pumps, valves, alarms, and auxiliary controls driven by sensor values.

Device Inputs

Relay Controllers, Motor Controllers, Valves

Output Behavior

Turn the relay channel on or off based on the configured action.

Safety Note

Use hysteresis or a band where frequent threshold crossings are possible.

Test Method

Before You Start

Device Readiness

Link every device used by this workflow and confirm each one is online.

Device Selection

Choose the exact tank, pump, valve, relay, or meter that should be controlled.

Safe Test

Test with safe thresholds or manual observation before leaving the workflow enabled.

Commissioning Checks

• Confirm the selected relay channel changes state at the expected time or condition.
• Set a temporary threshold and confirm the correct channel switches.
• Confirm the saved card shows the correct workflow, devices, schedule, and enabled state.
• Review the event history after testing so the action is recorded as expected.
• Keep safety-critical workflows active all day unless the site needs a specific time window.

Troubleshooting

• If the Save button is disabled, complete every required trigger, condition, action, and timing field.
• If the workflow does not run, confirm the devices are online and the active time allows it to run now.
• If the action does not complete, check whether the target device is already in that state or cannot accept commands.
• If notification behavior is missing, confirm phone notification permission and recent device data.
