How to Create a Meter Trigger

Use a Meter Trigger to run automation when a meter reading reaches a condition you define (for example, above a threshold or increasing by an interval). This guide shows the full flow from opening the form to submitting a valid trigger.

Step 1: Navigate to Meter Triggers

From the main sidebar, go to Maintenance and select Meter Triggers.

Step 2: Open the Creation Form

Click + Create in the top-right corner of the list view to open the Create Meter Trigger panel.

Step 3: Define Trigger Parameters

Field	Instruction	Required
Name	Use a clear label that identifies purpose and threshold (e.g. Boiler Runtime - Every 500h).	Yes
Meter	Select the meter to monitor. The trigger evaluates readings recorded for this selected meter only.	Yes
Condition	Choose the comparison logic (is above, is below, is equal to, increases by, decreases by).	Yes
Enable Spike Model	Optional toggle shown for increases by and decreases by. Use it when you want to evaluate change between consecutive readings instead of total cumulative change.	Optional
Threshold	Enter the numeric value used by the selected condition.	Yes
Is Active	Enable this toggle to start evaluating readings immediately after saving. Leave disabled if you want to prepare it first and activate later.	Optional
Description	Add internal notes (why the trigger exists, owner, expected action).	Optional

Tip

If you are unsure which condition to use, check the logic reference in About Meter Triggers.

Step 4: Finalize and Activate

Click Submit to save the trigger.

• If Is Active is enabled, UniCMMS starts evaluating new incoming readings immediately.
• If Is Active is disabled, the trigger is saved in an inactive state until you activate it later.

Validation checklist

Before submitting, confirm:

• Name, Meter, Condition, and Threshold are filled.
• The selected Condition matches your maintenance intent.
• The threshold unit/value makes sense for the chosen meter.
