Energy consumer
The energy consumer is available on rack level and monitors output in the rack. It
behaves like an EnergySwitch.
See section Energy Consumer for detailed information on set up and usage.
Notes:
The maximum number of possible levels is 8.
A parent can house many children (i.e.: multiple floors in 1 datacenter), but the children
cannot be of a different type.
Example: When you have created a floor in a datacenter, you can’t create a room as child
under that same datacenter. The created room will be automatically moved as a child of
the floor.
So when you have an existing datacenter with only 4 rooms and you want to add a floor,
the first floor created will automatically house the 4 existing rooms. The second floor you
add will be blank.
A rack is the lowest and only component that can contain devices (EnergySwitches or
energy consumers).
