Purpose
This article explains how the current SEMS product surfaces live values, historical values and event state from a user perspective.
Three different timing layers
The current product separates several timing concepts:
- Live device polling
- Historical archiving / aggregation
- Browser refresh and chart updates
Do not treat them as the same interval.
Verified live polling behavior
From the current EMS service defaults:
- fast device polling baseline is
1.0 s - slow/background polling baseline is
60.0 s - alarm polling baseline is
2.0 s
Device profiles and diagnostic capture can override these values, so they are best treated as current product defaults rather than a guarantee for every deployment.
Historical data behavior
The current product contains dedicated history and telemetry-archive paths for:
- site energy history
- device history
- event history
- archived KPI/context data
The public-facing takeaway is:
- current values are live snapshots;
- historical pages use archived data and may show gaps when samples were unavailable;
- the displayed aggregation depends on the selected history range.
Dashboard and history views
The current UI exposes:
- live site dashboard cards
- energy-flow views
- site energy history
- device history
- event summary and event timeline
Event and alarm visibility
The current event page distinguishes:
- active vs cleared events
- severity
- acknowledged vs unreviewed state
- event history filters
Viewer-role responses are intentionally sanitized compared with higher-privilege event detail.
What operators should remember
- a fast-updating live value is not the same thing as archived history;
- missing historical points should be treated as gaps, not silently guessed values;
- alarm/event state must be reviewed separately from trend charts.
