This manual walks you through the setup of AmbientSensor environmental alert notifications.
You can get notifications when the temperature and humidity are higher or lower than your targeted range. E.g. if the temperature in your green coffee storage rises for 30 minutes above 22°C, which is the maximum recommended value according to ISO, an alert will be logged for this location.
If you setup email notifications, then you will receive a notification within 1 hour when the alert gets first triggered as well as when it gets resolved—reenters the predefined range. You will also receive alerts whenever one of your gateways or sensors is offline. E.g. when the power or internet to the gateway is cut off, or when a sensor is too far away from the gateway. Whatever it is, we will let you know and so you can address the issue immediately.
Email notifications are optional and you can decide who from your team should receive them for a specific location.
