Intelligence

The Intelligence dashboard is where your van tells you what it is doing and lets you shape how it behaves. It is made up of a few tabs, and some only appear when they are relevant.

Alarms

The Alarms tab appears whenever there is a live alarm, and it leads the dashboard so you see it first. An alarm shows a title, a message and, where we have it, some guidance on what to do. Tap Snooze to quieten it for a while, or Ignore to clear it.

You do not have to be on this dashboard to notice an alarm. A banner appears across the top of whichever screen you are on, showing the alarm, and tapping it brings you straight here.

An alarm about a device you have removed clears itself. Remove a sensor from your system, or unpair a Zigbee device, and any alarm naming it is cancelled rather than left sounding about something that is no longer there. Previously the only way to stop one was to clear it by hand, every time it came back.

So does an alarm about something that has stopped. A vibration or water leak alarm ends when the sensor that raised it goes quiet again, rather than nagging you every few minutes about a knock that happened hours ago.

Scenes

Scenes set the overall state of your van, for example Drive, Sleep or Sentry. Pick one here, or let your instincts switch between them for you. See Scenes for what each one does.

The scenes run along the top of the tab. To put them in the order you like, press and hold a scene until it lifts, drag it along the row, and let go. The Home and Cab tiles and the phone's scene pills follow the same order.

Instincts

Instincts are the protective behaviours that run in the background, such as reminding you when the engine is running on shore power. Each instinct can be turned on or off, and for each one you can choose whether it simply warns you (a quiet message in the log) or alerts you (a full alarm).

See Instincts for what each one watches, the settings you can change, and what it needs fitted.

Routines

Routines are the behaviours you build yourself, rather than the ones Sensa builds for you. Each one is a tile you tap to edit, and a switch on the tile turns it on or off. You say when it runs, what else has to be true, and what happens. See Routines.

Log

The Log is a running history of messages your van has raised about itself: fresh water running low, the leisure battery getting down, cold-charging cutting in, an instinct firing. Each one is marked as information, a warning or an error, and you can filter the list by type to find what you are looking for.

Messages about the system rather than the van (backups, software updates, licence check-ins, devices added or removed) are kept separately, on a second Log tab under Settings. They used to share this tab and had come to outnumber the van's own messages roughly four to one, so looking up why your heater warned you meant scrolling past a fortnight of update notices.

Both logs are kept for the same length of time, which you can change. See the Settings log.

Schengen

The Schengen tab appears when your system can tell where it is, for example from a vehicle GPS source. It tracks the 90-in-180 rule, the limit on how long visitors can stay in the Schengen area.

The rule is simple to state but easy to lose track of: you may spend up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day window. Sensa does the counting for you.

The tab shows:

• an allowance strip counting the days used against your 90, and a rolling window strip showing which of the last 180 days were spent inside the area,
• days used in the last 180 days and days left of your 90,
• a month calendar you can edit to record which countries you were in on each day.

Every figure is framed as 90 in 180, so the 90 never reads as a flat yearly budget. Sensa keeps counting while you are parked or offline, and picks up again the next time it has a location.

The counter is a guide to help you plan. It does not replace official border records, and you remain responsible for staying within the rules.
