Red alarm symbols will appear in HOBOlink when these alarms
trip (if enabled).
Note for wireless sensors:
If a wireless sensor mote goes
offline from the network for 30 minutes, the station will
automatically connect to HOBOlink to report the missing mote
regardless of any alarm settings in place. Unless the mote has
no battery power, it will continue logging data even if it is
offline from the network. Once the mote is back online, any
logged data will be uploaded during regular connections to
HOBOlink.
Note:
Once a mote is back online, it enters recovery
mode as HOBOlink receives the data logged while it was offline.
During this period of recovery, data for that mote will
temporarily be unavailable for data delivery, dashboards, and
data feeds. See the HOBOlink help for additional details.
