Historical data for Board, Desk, and Room Series in Control Hub workspaces- Webex

You are able to access historical data from environmental and ultrasonic sensors on the page for a workspace that is dedicated to its historical data. The information is presented in the form of graphs, which enable you to view the sound level, the ambient noise, the temperature, the air quality, and the humidity. You can also examine information on occupancy, such as the number of individuals now present and how that number compares to the capacity that was established for the space.

You can view trends for the previous 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days on the historical data page for a workspace. This page displays data for that workspace. You also have the option of viewing the raw data for the previous two hours. It is possible to utilize this information to:

• Take action to address sound and noise concerns in order to enhance the users’ listening experience.
• Adjustments should be made to save money and the utilization of property should be improved.
• Find out whether certain of the work areas are used more frequently than others.
• Find out how much time is actually spent in each workstation as well as how many people use each one.

The sensors that are available and how to activate them
The settings that are described below can be used to enable the sensors. You can learn more about how to use configurations by reading the article that is dedicated to device configurations.

RoomAnalytics > PeoplePresenceDetector: On indicates that the room is occupied.

The gadget can recognize persons in the workspace via ultrasonic and/or head detection, depending on the configuration. In order for the PeoplePrecenceDetector setting to take effect, one of these choices must be toggled to the On position. These parameters allow for the activation and deactivation of ultrasound as well as head detection:

HeadDetector can be turned on or off in RoomAnalytics > PeoplePresence > Input. The default setting is on.

The on/off switch for the ultrasound can be found in the RoomAnalytics > PeoplePresence > Input menu.

RoomAnalytics > PeopleCountOutOfCall: On Occupants: RoomAnalytics

The number of individuals present in the area is taken into account by the gadget when it does the calculation of occupancy. The camera counts the number of individuals in the room both when calls are being made and, if the settings allow it, when calls are not being made. It is necessary to connect a Quad Camera in order to use the SX80, Codec Plus, or Codec Pro codecs.

Room Analytics > Ambient Noise Estimation > Measurement of the Sound Level Mode: On

The sound level displays the current volume of sound in the working environment.

Please take into consideration that the sound level will only be reported after the ambient noise estimate sensor has been turned on.

Ambient noise: RoomAnalytics > AmbientNoiseEstimation > Mode: On

The noise estimation that is included in the stationary noise reduction method that is built into the device’s acoustic echo canceller is used to determine the level of background noise.

Temperature: Constantly active option

The temperature sensor has a working range that is between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius, which translates to 32 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The location of the device inside the workplace has the potential to cause fluctuations in the temperature that is reported.

Always active setting for relative humidity

The relative humidity can be read off the humidity sensor, which has an operational range that goes from 20% to 90%. The accuracy of the sensor is plus or minus 10%.

Always active with regard to air quality

The Volatile Organic Compound sensor, often known as TVOC, analyzes the quality of the air inside. It does this by analyzing the presence and amount of gases released by various things, such as solvents, smoke, and even human breath. The TVOC value provides a general index that is calculated using the total sum of those gases, as specified by the organization known as the Umweltbundesamt (UBA). The data on the quality of the air can be put to a variety of uses, one of which is determining whether or not the workstation need further ventilation.

It is recommended that the sensor be allowed to stabilize in its new location for a duration of seventy-two hours. When the device has been turned off for an extended period of time, the sensor also needs to stabilize before it can be used again.

Get access to historical information regarding workspaces.
Visit https://admin.webex.com and navigate to the customer view. Once there, go to Workspaces and choose a workspace.

Click the View Details button after you have navigated to either the Real-Time Utilization Metrics or the Real-Time Environmental Metrics page.

You have the option on this page to choose between seeing the utilization data and the environmental metrics. You have the option of selecting trends from the last 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days from the pull-down menu located in the top right corner of the screen. You also have the option to select raw data for the most recent two hours. You have the option of switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius when viewing temperature data.

You may discover the average, lowest, and maximum readings for the selected time period in the section titled “Insights.” The comparison to the time period that was picked previously is shown by the percentage change. To get a better idea of how this workspace stacks up against others that have the same room type, you may also view the average, the lowest, and the maximum for all of those other workspaces.

When you move your cursor over the graph, you will be able to view additional information pertaining to that particular point in time.

By selecting the download icon in the upper right corner of the window, you will be able to save the information from the graph as a CSV file.

Optimal levels for several environmental metrics
There are color-coded thresholds for each of the three environmental variables, making it simpler to see at a glance where each reading falls within the range.

The temperature, relative humidity, and sound level limits were determined based on considerable study conducted all over the world in partnership with businesses that specialize in building technology.

The thresholds are not adjustable and are subject to reevaluation at any time.
Color codes for the threshold:

• Green: Excellent or Good
• Yellow means it’s all right.
• Red: Poor

Levels deemed as Excellent:

• Temperature: 21-25 degrees Celsius / 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit
• 30–60% relative humidity is typical.
• Ambient noise: 0-40 dBA
• The TVOC index should be lower than 2.99.
