The purpose of the present invention is to enable even an unskilled person to easily identify a related event in a short time from a collected event log. A system management device (1) is provided with: a display control part (32) for causing a display part (14) to display an event log; an identification part (30) for identifying an event of interest log specified by a user through an operation part (11); and an extraction part (31) for extracting a related event log related to an event of interest from an event log database (20). The display control part (32) causes the display part (14) to display the event of interest log and the related event log.

Some embodiments provide a system and method for interfacing with an irrigation controller based on rainfall, the system comprising: an interface unit including a housing and a control unit within the housing and configured to: cause an interruption of one or more watering schedules executed by the irrigation controller, which is separate from the interface unit, based on signaling received from a rain sensor including hygroscopic material, when a sensed expansion of the hygroscopic material is above a set rainfall accumulation threshold parameter, the rain sensor being separate from the interface unit and the hygroscopic material being configured to expand in response to being contacted by the rainfall and to contract in response to an absence of the rainfall; and remove the interruption after a completion of a predetermined interval of time after a sensed contraction of the hygroscopic material indicative of a rainfall stop.

A method of assessing the reliability and availability of a distributed energy resource (DER) device included among a plurality of DER devices in communication with a platform over a network. The method includes monitoring, by the platform, behavior of the DER device. This may include monitoring an extent to which the DER device is available to engage in communication with the platform over the network. This monitoring may also include determining whether the DER device acknowledges control commands sent to the DER device over the network and determining whether the DER executes the control commands in conformance with at least one of a standard and a regulation. The method further includes determining, based upon the monitoring of the behavior of the DER device, a value of a reliability and availability score for the DER device.

A monitoring device configured to be attached to a subject includes a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor configured to detect/measure physiological information from the subject, and a processor configured to process the physiological information to detect subject stress, and to determine an origin of the subject stress. The processor can determine the origin of the subject stress by increasing a sampling rate of the PPG sensor to collect higher acuity physiological information. The processor also can determine the origin of the subject stress by processing data from the PPG sensor to determine whether the subject is likely to have atrial fibrillation. In response to determining that the subject is likely to have atrial fibrillation, the processor can increase a frequency of pulsing of an optical emitter of the PPG sensor and/or increase a sampling rate of the PPG sensor to collect higher acuity data for diagnosing that atrial fibrillation is truly occurring.
