Simple SensorΒΆ
A SimpleSensor is an ActorClass for a SpaceheatNode. An ShNode is a SimpleSensor if it is both the device taking a reading and the thing getting read. There can also only be one type of reading.
Here is an example.
A 1-wire temp sensor read by a SCADA has only one type of reading: temperature in degrees C times 1000. It also only reads one thing: say, water temp at the top of the tank where the sensor is located.
A SpaceHeat node for a.tank.temp1 conflates the 1-wire reading that temperature with the location and temperature itself. this is a SimpelSensor
