Alerts and Automations.
Alert Rules.
Create alerts that fire when device readings cross a threshold:
- Temperature above 85F — fire alert.
- Motion detected after hours — fire alert.
- Device offline for 5 minutes — fire alert.
Creating an Automation.
- Go to Automations.
- Set trigger: which device, what condition.
- Set action: send notification, log event, trigger another device.
- Enable — it runs continuously.
Alert History.
All triggered alerts are logged with timestamp, device, condition, and resolution status. Review weekly to spot patterns.
