Date range
Ubidots allows you to build new variables from a time series based on date range data, i. e, calculate mean, sum, median per hour, per day, etc., using a synthetic variable based on your sensor inputs
Below you can find the commonly used date range functions.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
Returns the maximum value of the variable x in the specified date range. | |
Returns the minimum value of the variable x in the specified date range. | |
Returns the mean value of the variable x in the specified date range. | |
Returns the standard deviation of the variable x in the specified date range. | |
Returns the number of dots stored in the variable x for the specified date range. | |
Returns the last value of the time-series variable x in the specified date range. | |
Returns the first value of the time-series variable x in the specified date range. | |
Returns the sum of the dots stored in the variable x in the specified date range. |
Date Range functions have the following syntax:
aggregation_method(<variable>,<range>,<position>,<offset> )
| Parameters | Description | Value | Mandatory |
|---|---|---|---|
Variable | It shows the measurements of a sensor as a time series of data points that vary over time, also known as "dots", and is identified by a variable label. | Variable label | YES |
Range | Time window the function will be computed within.
NOTE: The selected range should be set in a way that evenly divide the next range. For example, if using minutes ("T"), whatever the number n is, it has to evenly divide an hour ("H"). Available values for minutes are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30. Other values may render unexpected results. Same applies to other ranges. | Available data ranges: "nT" : Every n minutes, "nH" : Every n hours, "nD" : Every n days, "W" : Every end of week, "M" : Every end of month | YES |
Position | Indicates whether the output value will be timestamped at the start of the time series or at the end. | position ="start" or position = "end" | NO |
Offset | Sets the hour at which our synthetic variable engine will begin to compute the variable, which is the number of hours after midnight. By default is 0 hours. | Any integer between 1 and 23 | NO |
