Receiving too many notifications? You can set a limit per sensor.

Note: this will impact all notifications for this sensor.
Set your battery warnings
Besides the battery status in the Sensors list, you can set a notification for when your Connect(s) needs to be charged.
Click on Sensors notifications via the main menu. The first notification you see is the predefined battery warning. You only need to click on followers to set who would like to receive the notification and how.
Set your up/down warnings
We understand that you want to have your sensors online at all times. To prevent long outages, it is possible to set a notification for when your Gateway and/or sensor is offline.
Set your Gateway up/down notification
Go to Sensors and select ‘Gateway info’ as Type in the left column. Click on the Gateway in the list. Go to Notifications in the pop-up. The first notification you see is the predefined up/down notification. You only need to click on followers to set who would like to receive the notification and how.
Set your Sensors up/down notification
Go to Sensors and click on a sensor. Go to Notifications in the pop-up. The first notification you see is the predefined up/down notification. You only need to click on followers to set who would like to receive the notification and how.
How to visualise the notifications in your widgets
It is possible to visualise your notifications in your widgets as a dotted line. This is available for the line chart and bar chart.
Create a new widget or adjust an existing one to visualise your notification. When adding a sensor (data source) to the widget, you can choose between the different metrics from the sensor that you would like to visualise. The notifications are added as a metric to the sensor. You can recognize the notification by the alarm icon(see below). Select the notification and click + Select. Set your chart to your preferences and click on Create or Save. Now your notification is visualised in the chart as a dotted line.
