Alerts Configuration

Alerts require Enhanced service - see alerts service plan summary. One gateway plus one sensor or weather station (minimum) must register to receive email or text (SMS) alerts. System Alerts are not user-configurable.

In the Readings section of your data, each data value has a label (e.g. Sensor). Select the Red + (above). Each configuration screen is self-documenting (see Temperature Alert):

• values need to be numeric; specifications are posted per alert
• values need whole numbers or decimals not exceeding 2 digits
• values are limited to one entry per blank
• only valid symbol is a minus - sign reserved to preface a temp below zero; humidity does not need a %
• pay attention to settings in a drop-down (see Water Alert)
• Use the Create Alert button to save settings and activate alert
• To Edit - reopen, change the value, and save with Update Alert.
• To Delete - reopen and select Delete Alert. 

Alert Contact Information must be in your Account (access from click here or main menu). Select Message Type carefully. The account email and one cell phone (if configured) can receive the alert. Alert initial send is approx. 5 minutes after a new data value arrives (in other words, an interval must elapse & the new data post against conditions).

​When an alert is set, the configuration window and data screen respond.  Alerts are sent (if service plan is active) in a similar 4-day cycle to system alerts:  
1) immediate alert
2) 2 hours later
3) 1 alert a day for 3 days after

Your email filter must allow alerts@lacrossetechnology.com and gcedev@lacrossetechnology.com to pass through.
