Understanding Risk and Advisory
Asset Intelligence evaluates environmental conditions and provides insight into how those conditions impact the assets in your home.
This is done through two connected concepts:
- Risk
- Advisory
- Risk answers: “Is there an immediate issue?”
- Advisory answers: “What should I be aware of or consider?”
Together, they transform raw sensor data into actionable understanding.
Risk represents:
The system’s evaluation of whether current environmental conditions could negatively affect an asset.
Risk is expressed as:
- Green – Conditions are within acceptable limits
- Amber – Conditions are outside ideal ranges but not immediately harmful
- Red – Conditions may cause damage or require immediate attention
Risk is calculated by comparing:
- Current environmental conditions
to - The thresholds defined for the asset
- A piano with a humidity range of 42–50%
- Current humidity = 60%
Result:
👉 Red Risk — potential damage due to excessive moisture
Advisory provides:
Additional guidance, context, or recommendations beyond immediate risk.
Advisory may include:
- Environmental considerations
- Missing sensor coverage
- Long-term exposure concerns
- Best practice recommendations
- No UV sensor present
- Asset is sunlight-sensitive
Result:
👉 Advisory might indicate:
UV exposure is unknown — consider adding a UV sensor
Risk and Advisory work together but serve different purposes:
| Concept | Purpose | Time Horizon |
|---|---|---|
| Risk | Immediate condition evaluation | Now |
| Advisory | Context and recommendations | Ongoing |
You can have:
- ✅ Low risk + high advisory
- ✅ High risk without advisory
They are independent but complementary.
Risk and Advisory are visible:
- On the Asset detail screen
- Within Room context
- During Measurement sessions
- In Activity history (when changes occur)
Use them to:
- Identify when action is required
- Understand environmental patterns
- Decide where to place assets
- Improve sensor coverage
- Validate room suitability
✅ Define accurate thresholds for each asset
✅ Review advisory messages regularly
✅ Use measurements to validate long-term stability
✅ Treat alerts as signals, not just notifications
Risk and Advisory provide:
- Immediate awareness of environmental problems
- Context for better decision-making
- Guidance for improving conditions over time
Together, they shift your system from:
Monitoring conditions
to:
Understanding what those conditions mean for what you care about ``
