Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 45 rows came out of a blueprint — 23 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

Each art installation has a unique sensor ID.
Environmental readings are logged hourly (temperature, humidity, light).
Visitor counts are tracked via motion sensors and reset daily.
Maintenance events must be recorded with timestamps.
Energy consumption readings logged in kWh per day.
