Description
The ALTA Wireless Local Alert provides three ways to notify people about critical changes and sensor readings from your Monnit IoT network. The Local Alert flashes a red LED, sounds an audible alarm, and displays the important message upon receiving a notification. The Local Alert can also display sensor readings from any sensor on the same account.
Principle of Operation
Simply add the Local Alert to a network in your iMonnit account, and it will automatically be the list of devices that receive messages from a sensor via a gateway. When setting up notifications to the Local Alert, you can choose what the device should do when it receives a message. Set up a notification to flash the red LED, sound an audible alarm, display text on the LCD screen, or any combination of these alerting features.
You can scroll through stored messages with a quick button press. By pressing the button and holding it for two seconds, you delete the displayed message from the Local Alert and acknowledge it in iMonnit. Clear all messages by pressing and holding the button for five seconds. Sensor readings can also be displayed on the Local Alert but will not activate an alarm. Sensor readings can be associated with the Local Alert using the Data tab under the Local Alert settings in iMonnit.
