Alerts

Choose what needs your attention, who should hear about it, and when.

An alert pairs a trigger with an action.

A 30-minute rise sends an alert. Returning to normal allows another alert. A longer rise sends reminders. A five-minute spike sends nothing. Active hours limit when alerts can fire.

How an alert works

TriggerWatch a value condition, missing readings from a variable, or a location boundary.
ConditionChoose above, at or above, below, at or below, equal or not equal. A band combines two conditions.
HoldThe condition must remain true throughout. Returning to normal cancels it.
ActionSend email, text or a phone call. Ask us about setting a value, opening an incident, running a function, calling a webhook or sending a chat message.

The rules worth knowing

ReadingsChoose a hold no shorter than one reading interval. Most sensors report every 30 seconds to 10 minutes.
Another alertThe value must return to normal, then cross the line again.
RemindersWhile the condition holds, repeat notifications at an interval and maximum you choose for each action.
RecoveryA back-to-normal notification has its own message.
Active hoursSet weekday hours in the site’s timezone. A condition still true when the window opens fires on the first new reading inside it.
Quiet periodA quiet period after a trigger mutes actions for the chosen duration.
Several devicesOne condition watches one variable across the list. Messages name the device.
DeliveryTexts are cut at 140 characters. Calls go to each number in turn. Emails can have several recipients.
