In addition to selecting the data type, you can specify filters, e.g. limits or value ranges, in which mes
-
sages are to be created.
Suppress notifications: If you don't wish to be notified of every change, you can specify a threshold
value (as an absolute value). Changes will only then be reported once this threshold value is exceeded.
The two text properties, “Subject” and “Text”, may comprise static texts in which the value received
from the KNX can be used for each placeholder. In addition, you can specify a web address for loading
an attachment from a web server (e.g. IP camera) and attaching it to a message.
You can find the actual descriptions of this function in the parameter dialog in the ETS.
9.8.3. Forwarding
Notifications are first displayed in the “Notifications” view of the device portal only. As an adminis
-
trator, you can specify forwarding rules for notifications.
When notifications are created, they can be forwarded in different ways:
• E-mail (default is the user ID of the portal; multiple addresses can be specified)
• SMS (uses sms77.de or MessageBird as the provider; multiple addresses can be specified)
• Text-to-speech service (telephone voice call), which reads the notification aloud; available in many
different languages (uses sms77.de or MessageBird as the provider)
• IFTTT (If-this-then-that, uses IFTTT.com, for experienced users only)
Note
To use the SMS, text-to-speech or IFTTT functions, which are based on the services of sms77.de, Mes
-
sagebird.com or IFTTT, you must set up a separate account at sms77.de, Messagebird.com or
ifttt.com. The corresponding access data must be stored in the “External Services” menu item in the
“My data” view.
Each forwarding rule makes it possible to select and forward notifications according to their severity
and/or category (text filter; if it contains at least one word, the filter condition is fulfilled).
You can configure any number of forwarding rules, of which all the active ones can be evaluated upon
receipt of a notification. The deactivation option enables you to create rules that are not always
required, e.g. only when you are on holiday. Example: You want all notifications with the severity “Sys
-
tem” to be forwarded to you via e-mail (including e.g. the online/offline notifications). For this purpose,
proceed as follows:
• Click “Create new forwarding”.
• Deactivate all severity levels except “System”.
• Activate the “Forwarding via e-mail” option. Enter the e-mail address for receiving forwarded mes
-
sages.
• Save the forwarding rule. It is activated automatically.
Note
The notifications generated by the system, e.g., for online/offline status of the Gira S1, are always
generated with the “System” severity and “Remote access” category. All severities up to “System”
and any categories can be used when notifications are used via KNX objects.
