Why are my Barn and Bin Empty Dates Different?

BinSentry will display various Empty Dates based on either Barn or Bin Consumption

Depending on your physical barn set up you may see different empty dates on individual bins versus their corresponding barn. 

In the below example, Bin 1B is over half full and Bin 1A is near empty. The empty date of the Barn  shows 2 days and will take in to account previous consumption on both 1A and 1B. 

The Barn Page below is the same example as above. The empty date of the barn shows 2 days, because it takes in to account the previous consumption on Bin 1A, despite that bin being empty. The current feed in Bin 1B without taking into account Bin 1A would last 2.5 days. When bins are physically in tandem at a site, the Barn Empty Dates will always be more accurate. 

Note: After a refill, the empty dates on both Bins and Barns will need 1-3 readings to recalibrate as it detects the consumption or if slides are shut.
