How To Display ‘Feels Like’ Readings In Room Alert Manager

Any Room Alert Monitor with an internal or external Temperature & Humidity sensor automatically calculates the Heat Index reading—also known as the “Feels Like” temperature. This reading is vital when monitoring conditions in working environments like factory and warehouse floors.

In Room Alert Manager, you may enable an alternate sensor view for your Temperature & Humidity sensors that displays the “Feels Like” reading with a heat index safety gauge, as shown below.

To enable this sensor view, please follow these steps:

1. Open Room Alert Manager in your web browser.
   • You may open it by entering ‘localhost:9393’ or ‘<IP address of host system>:9393’ in your browser’s address bar. For more information, please see our FAQ, How to Open Room Alert Manager’s Web Interface.
2. In order to enable this feature in Room Alert Manager, you must log in as an admin-level or manager-level user.
   • For more information, please see the “Types of user roles” section of our FAQ, How To Configure Users In Room Alert Manager.
3. In the navigation bar to the left, go to Guidance –> Established Standards.
   
4. Then select the NWS – Heat Index tab.
   
5. Scroll to the Alternate Sensor View section at the bottom of the page.
6. Select the checkbox to enable the feature, and then select Save Changes.
   

7. To view the new sensor display, first navigate back to your Room Alert Monitors Inventory list. Then click on any device that has an internal and/or external Temperature & Humidity sensor.
   
8. That device’s Details page will open. At the top of the page, you’ll see a new Heat Index Readings section.
   • This section includes the “Feels Like” readings from all of the device’s connected Temperature & Humidity sensors.
   • A heat gauge indicates the current Heat Index Risk. (For information about these risk levels, please see the informational section at the top of the Guidance tabs.)
