The SendAttendance action sends one of two available event occupancy data fields; expected count or % occupancy to an MSEA object when an event item is triggered. This allows you to send capacity related control signals to your HVAC system in response to actual or expected people load in the room. The priority that you will command the value with is also sent.
Not all event providers support expected count and % capacity data in their events. For unsupported event providers, the % capacity will always equal 100% and expected count will equal 0.
This action only applies to the following event triggers:
•EventStart
•EventSetupStart

1-16 (1=highest) 16 = Recommended default Only applies to Present_Value property on commandable objects (ie. AO, AV, BO, BV, MSO, MSV) |
|
Expected Count |
This expected number of attendees for the event in a room. |
0 = not available 1-X = number of people expected |
|
% Occupancy |
The calculated value of % of room occupancy. The is the percent of (expected count)/(max room capacity) |
100% = default value if expected count or max room capacity is not available from event provider. 0-100% |

Verify Button
Click on the button to verify that the selected object and property can be read directly from the MSEA network without errors. The results of the verification will be shown in the Results window.
Test Button
Click on the Test link to attempt to write a value to the object. The results of the test will be shown in the Results window.
Note: The SendAttendance action does not take into account total attendance or total % occupancy for zones that have multiple rooms assigned to it. This action will trigger at the start of an event and will use the values for that event. If events overlap for different rooms the data sent will be for the last event that triggered and will not adjust for the multiple events occuring at the same time in different rooms.
