Notifications

Email notifications alert designated recipients when air quality thresholds are exceeded, enabling proactive response to elevated PM levels.

Accessing Notifications

Navigate to /sites/[id]/notifications or click "Notifications" in the site sidebar.

Concept

Notification rules define:

• Trigger device: AirWatch sensor to monitor

• PM10 threshold: Level that triggers alert

• Recipients: Email addresses to notify

• Hysteresis: Prevents notification spam

Notification Components

Trigger Device

AirWatch sensor that triggers notifications:

• AirWatch 3.0

• AirWatch LTE Europe

• AirWatch LTE America

PM10 Threshold

The PM10 value (in µg/m³) that triggers notification:

• Alert sent when threshold exceeded

• Configurable per rule

Recipients

Email addresses to receive alerts:

• Multiple recipients supported

• Valid email format required

• Both internal and external addresses

Hysteresis

Time delay before re-triggering:

• Prevents repeated notifications

• Configurable duration

• Value must drop and rise again to re-trigger

Creating Notifications

Add Notification Modal

1

Select Create Notification Rule

Click "Create Notification Rule" to open the modal.

2

Choose Trigger Device

Select the trigger AirWatch device for the rule.

3

Set Threshold

Set the PM10 threshold that will trigger the alert.

4

Add Recipients

Add recipient email addresses (see Recipient Management).

5

Configure Hysteresis (optional)

Set hysteresis duration to prevent repeated alerts.

6

Save Notification

Save the notification rule to activate it.

Recipient Management

Add recipients:

• Enter email address

• Click "Add"

• Repeat for multiple

Remove recipients:

• Click remove button next to email

• Confirm removal

Notification Cards

Each notification displays as a collapsible card.

Card Header

• Notification name

• Trigger device name

• Enable/Disable toggle

• Edit/Delete buttons

Card Content

• Trigger device with current PM10

• Threshold value

• Recipient list

• Notification status

Managing Notifications

Enable/Disable

Toggle notifications on/off:

• Disabled rules don't send emails

• Useful for maintenance periods

• Quick pause capability

Edit Notification

Modify existing notifications:

• Change threshold

• Update recipients

• Adjust hysteresis

Delete Notification

Remove notifications:

• Confirmation required

• Cannot be undone

Email Content

Alert Email Contains

• Site name

• Trigger device name and location

• Current PM10 value

• Threshold that was exceeded

• Timestamp

• Link to dashboard (if configured)

Language

Email templates available in:

• English

• German

Based on system configuration.

Notification Behavior

Trigger Condition

1

Condition: Threshold Crossing

PM10 exceeds the configured threshold.

2

Condition: Hysteresis

Hysteresis period has passed (if applicable).

3

Condition: Rule Enabled

The notification rule is enabled.

Hysteresis Logic

Prevents spam. Steps for how hysteresis works:

1

Initial Alert

Alert sent when PM10 crosses the threshold.

2

Start Timer

A hysteresis timer starts after the alert.

3

Suppress Alerts

No new alerts sent during the timer period.

4

Require Reset

PM10 must drop below the threshold to reset state.

5

Restart Timer on Drop

Timer resets when the value drops below the threshold.

6

Next Alert

A new alert is sent only on the next threshold crossing after reset.

Example

Threshold: 100 µg/m³, Hysteresis: 30 minutes

Time	PM10	Action
09:00	110	Alert sent
09:05	120	No alert (hysteresis)
09:15	90	No alert (below threshold)
09:20	105	Alert sent (new crossing)

Live Status

Notification cards show:

• Current PM10 from trigger

• Whether threshold exceeded

• Active alert state

Best Practices

Threshold Selection

• Set above normal fluctuations

• Consider background levels

• Test before production use

Recipient Selection

• Include relevant personnel

• Consider shift supervisors

• Avoid notification fatigue

Hysteresis Settings

• Too short = notification spam

• Too long = missed alerts

• 15-30 minutes typical

Empty State

If no notifications exist:

• Message indicating no rules

• "Create Rule" button

Permissions

Creating/editing notifications requires:

• Member or Admin role

• Access to trigger devices

• Active licenses
