In the previous tutorial we created a list of 2 equipmentssensors. In this tutorial we're going to create an organ which will make equipments sensors for us and 2 two automates to handle this new list.

title	Requirements

To follow this tutorial you must have done the Basic Equipment Tutorial.

Before we can use our new model we're going to need equipments for them to handle.

The createEquipment organ will create 10 equipments in a new list stored as "automate".

In this part we will create another model a new model, named an "automate", that will be in charge of a group of equipmentsensors. This model needs 2 attributes:

name: so we can create multiple automates without losing track of and identify them
equipmentssensors: an an array of the equipments the automate has in charge

Append the following lines at the end of spinal-model/model

sensors that are managed by this automate

We're going to add an empty array named automates as property of the SensorListModel and create a model Automate with the two previously described attributes.

Take care of SensorListModel, an automate as been added to the model.

In this tutorial you learned how to:

Automatically created equipments create sensors using an organ
Created 2 automates to handle the equipmentssensors
Made those automates display warnings if a problem occurs
