What the AI does and does not do

Scores, severities and incidents are calculated by HydroNode itself, with fixed rules, before the AI sees anything. The AI only explains that result. It may not contradict it, invent values, thresholds or causes, or declare something safe that a rule flagged.

Detection and alerts never depend on the AI. If an analysis fails or is not available, incidents and notifications work exactly the same.

What an analysis contains

PartWhat it is
SummaryOne or two sentences on the overall state, naming only what stands out.
Findings Up to 6. Each is marked Supported when a confirmed incident backs it, or Possible when it is an interpretation or a suggested cause. A suspected sensor fault is always Possible.
RecommendationsUp to 3 concrete next steps, chosen from a fixed list of allowed actions.
Limits What the analysis could not judge, for example a missing unit, too little data or a battery without a configured type.

You find the latest analysis in the anomaly panel and in the analysis section of the sensor page. Each analysis is a frozen snapshot: it shows the data it was based on, even after new readings arrive. Past analyses stay in the history for 90 days.

Three ways an analysis starts

TriggerWhen
Automatic On a fixed schedule, if the sensor sent new readings since the last analysis. A silent sensor is not analysed.
Incident When an important incident opens. HydroNode waits 60 seconds so related incidents end up in the same analysis.
ManualAnalyze in the anomaly panel or Refresh analysis on the sensor page. Owner only.

Pressing the button before the minimum gap is over tells you when the next analysis is possible. If nothing has changed since the last analysis, you get that one back immediately instead of a new one.

What is sent to the model

The analysis runs on Amazon Bedrock in Frankfurt (EU). Your data is not used to train models.

Sent
Recent readings and averages, learned bands, open incidents, applicable guidelines, the environment (indoor, outdoor, greenhouse) and the time zone.
Not sent
Your name, email address, sensor name, channel names, notes or location. Channels are sent as numbered placeholders with their measurement type.
