App - Setting Alerts

What Kinds of Alerts are there?

  • Notify when a central station is offline
  • Notify when a sensor is offline
  • Notify when sensor readings reach specific thresholds

General Information

Alerts are set on 3 different levels, from most to least inclusive: user levelcentral level, and sensor level.

These warning alerts are disabled by default on the user and central level.

💡
NOTE: In order to receive alerts, all three levels must be enabled.

For example, if alerts are enabled for the user and central level, but disabled for all sensors, you will not receive alert emails.

Where in the App can I set alerts?

Alerts are set in the configuration menu. This is found via the gear icon at the top right of the Nodes Map, Charts, and Timelapse Pages.

The following images show where to control the three alert levels. If you would like to receive alerts, please make sure they are all set to "enabled". The first 2 levels are found in the configuration menu. The 3rd level is found by clicking on the specific sensor within the Nodes Map page.

When do you receive alerts?

Variable alerts

If you set min and max values for variables and provide an email in "alert emails" (see image under section Central level), notifications are sent each hour between 6am and 8pm UTC. These alerts are sent to those listed in “emails for alerts”.

Sensor status warning alerts

Emailed at 8am if within the last 2 hours it was detected that a sensor has low battery, or low radio signal.

Please note, this alert is sent to the account owner (email used to login), not the email addresses given in the “emails for alerts”.

Sensor is offline alerts

Sent on each full hour if it is detected that a sensor is down. However this is only sent once. If an hour passes and the sensor is still down, you will not receive another notification. You will receive a notification when it's detected that the sensor starts uploading again.

Please note as above, this alert is sent to the account owner, not the email addresses given in the “emails for alerts”.
