Notifications
What notifications are
The device can notify the user, when certain states or events occur.
Examples:
- When a sensor leaves or enters its normal operating range.
- When a digital input or output changes its state.
- When a watchdog gets triggered or reenters expected state.
To set up notifications, it is necessary to first set up and enable the respective interface to be used as the notification channel on its configuration page and then enable the notifications on a peripheral on its configuration page.
Notification channels
Notifications can be delivered by multiple channels, also concurrently. The channels correspond to the interfaces you find in the main menu:
- Email (docs page)
- Webhooks (docs page)
- MQTT (docs page)
- SNMP (docs page)
Additionally, the device can
- activate digital outputs 1 and/or 2 on itself and
- after the Box2Box (docs page) feature is enabled, the device can control a digital output on another device,
when a notification event occurs.
The corresponding checkboxes are only visible, after the Box2Box feature has been enabled.
Peripheral notification settings
The enabling of a specific type of notification is done on the configuration pages of the respective peripherals. For details, please refer to the Notifications section on the related docs pages:
