How to set alert thresholds

Alerts mean you can be instantly aware of unwanted data readings from your connected devices. They can be linked to your phone and configured to react to a range of values depending on your device.

For example, Temperature sensors installed inside a fridge can have alerts set to notify instantly when the temperature has deviated from the Normal Limit.

Alerts can be sent to you as an email or text message.
