Notification

To create a new notification, click on “Create new notification”, then name the 

 

notification and select the type of notification you would like to create.

Class of Notification

There are four notification options available when creating a new notification. 

• 

Application - 

Application notifications are sensor specific (i.e. water sensor = trig-

ger alert when water present, temp sensor = trigger alert when temp is above 70F, 

etc.).  If creating an application specific notification, you will need to choose what 

sensor type you are creating the alert for. The system will automatically populate a 

list of sensor types that are currently being used within the network. The notificatiion 

you create will be based on the selected sensor type.

 

• 

Inactivity - 

Set-up “Inactivity” notifications to alert you when your sensors have 

stopped communicating with the servers.  Failure to set up an “Inactivity” notifica-

tion will result in no email/SMS txt being sent should your sensors stop communi-

cating with the servers. 

 

• 

Low battery -

 Allows users to define a battery power percentage level that will trig-

ger an alert from the system, warning them to replace batteries.

 

•  Advanced Notifications

 - 

Allows the user to set notifications based on more ad-

vanced rules, such as comparing past data points with the current one to determine 

if the notification should be sent.
