v3 API Count System Change

What is changing for Entry data?

We are switching the source of the count data for Entry with a new system that is faster, more forgiving, and more accurate. This translates to a new database, with the same metrics and views in Atlas. Here are the main differences: 

1. Better drift correction: Our new drift correction algorithm has dramatic improvements. Drift correction normalizes throughout the day, rather than the steep drop you previously saw at the reset time.
2. Better historical data: Changing sensor orientation, doorway locations, and creating new spaces from existing doorways will automatically backfill historical data with those settings. Previously, this resulted in data updating only from the time of change. The system will now retroactively apply all changes to the data.
   
   

What is changing for OA data?

1. Better historical data: Making changes to your configuration will automatically backfill with those settings. Previously, this resulted in data updating only from the time of change. The system will now retroactively apply all changes to the data. 
2. 30-Second Sampling Rate: The old data pipeline sampled OA data at a 1-second rate. We now sample at 30 seconds in the new pipeline. This improved both performance and accuracy. You may see a slight difference in occupancy max and time used endpoints, but most metrics are unaffected at lower granularities.
