FIN Watcher

The FIN Watcher was created so OEM's or Developers use this extension to do things based on a new tag getting added. What the FIN Watcher does is run in the background and look to see what new unique tags have been added on equipment. We also created the ability to run a function when a new tag is added.

As an example: when the brandAhu tag is added to any equipment a function is called which goes and finds a zip file that has points, tags and programs in it. Once the function is ran, it automatically creates the points, and the programs on the piece of equipment that got the brandAhu tag.

Another functionality of this extension is to collect information regarding the boolean points changing values. This means that once this extension is enabled the user will get on boolean points 2 new property tags that will specify the number of times the point has been turned on and the total period of time for which the point was on.

This feature is for developers only, we do not suggest someone else using this feature unless you are a developer.
