| Consolidated View |
| |
| The Consolidated View provides a top-level view of the health of the system. Each unit is shown with current sensor readings and a camera image if connected. Units in alarm are shown first, so with a glance you can tell if there’s a problem. Click on a unit and you’re taken right to the unit’s webpage. |

| Measurement Aggregation |
| |
| Console contacts your climate monitors and retrieves sensor readings. These measurements are stored on your system. Pick a sensor type from a drop-down and the Status view displays a color-coded bar graph of current values. This makes it easy to compare readings across many units. |
| |
| Graphing |
| |
| View graphs of historic sensor readings. Observe trends between units based on sensor type and time range. Up to 20 units can be selected. Graphs can display up to a month of data. |

| Logging |
| |
| Sensor readings are logged in a central SQL database on your system. This information can be viewed remotely through a web browser. Logs can be downloaded as well as the event log. No more having to download logs from individual units. |
| |
| Firmware Push |
| |
| Update firmware on multiple remote units. The interface displays the firmware version of each unit, with update options. Chose units and a firmware version and Console takes care of the rest. Firmware Push simplifies keeping your units up to date. |
