Count logged device states for a quick weekly view
Turn your recorded device readings into a compact count that is easier to scan than a long log.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
Why this helps
A long list of readings makes it hard to see how often a device was in a particular state.
- Summarize existing readings by state.
- See reported state frequency at a glance.
- Make a long event log easier to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apilio and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis, or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
- 3Ask Notis to aggregate the logged readings by device and state for the selected week and write the counts to Google Sheets.
- 4Choose a recurring weekly trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a week of real logged readings and confirm the count criteria.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create the readings it counts?
No. The source sheet needs to contain device readings, for example from a separate logging automation.
What does a state count mean?
It counts matching rows in the selected data. It does not measure how long a device remained in a state unless durations are recorded and analyzed separately.
