Alerts

The alert system is a strategic tool designed to offer proactive control over your farm. In this way, supervision is transformed from a passive task to an active and preventive management.

There are two fundamental components of the system: the alert management panel in the main menu and the notifications section that can be accessed from the bell at the top right. (coming soon)

Alert view#

In the "Alert View" you will be able to see a list of all the configured alerts. From here you can also access them to monitor, edit or delete them.

Depending on whether or not the alert has been received on the device, it will appear as "Received" or "Not received", and can be forwarded by clicking on the label. The alert must be received correctly in order to be executed.

Create pressure alert#

Notify if the pressure in a pipe rises or falls below the thresholds you define. Essential for detecting leaks, blockages or overpressures that may cause a breakage.

1. Go to the "Alerts" section and tap on the "Create alert" icon
2. Select the "Pressure alert" alert type
3. Set parameters as a name
4. Select the sensor from the list of pressure sensors you have installed on the platform.
5. Select the type of alert, between "Notification" if you want to be alerted when the values exceed the defined threshold or "Notification and stop" when you want to be notified when the values are not reached.
6. Select the limits, lower or higher or both at the same time.
7. If you have selected "Notification and stop", fill in the "Output to close" field with one of the actuators registered in the same Atlas as the pressure sensor.
8. Select how you want to be notified
9. Once all the fields are completed, click "Save the alert" to finish with the creation.

Create Level Alert#

Notifies if the water level in a reservoir or pond reaches a maximum or minimum

1. Go to the "Alerts" section and tap on the "Create alert" icon
2. Select the "Level Alert" alert type
3. Set parameters as a name
4. Select the sensor from the list of level sensors that you have installed on the platform.
5. Select the limits, lower or higher or both at the same time.
6. Select how you want to be notified
7. Once all the fields are completed, click "Save the alert" to finish with the creation.

Create Digital Input Alert#

Digital input alerts are designed to notify in real time about changes in their status such as flow or pressure. Only one alert can be defined for each digital input

Change of status#

This basic alert notifies you when a digital input changes its normal state

1. Select the digital input: Choose from the drop-down field from the list of digital inputs installed in the irrigation community. The system will only display digital inputs that do not have an alert already configured and inform you of their default status (Normally open or normally closed)
2. Assign a name to easily identify the alert
3. Set notification status: Select whether you want to be notified when the entry changes to a specific status (open or closed)
4. Notification settings: Select the recipients and notification method, as detailed in the section of this manual

Status change with actuator supervision#

It allows correlating the status of a digital input with the status of an actuator (pump or valve), allowing the detection of anomalous conditions or the confirmation of operations being extremely versatile.

1. Select the digital input and status you want to be notified about
2. Select an actuator: Choose from the list of installed elements in the irrigation community
3. Defines the status of the actuator which, in combination with the status of the digital input, will trigger the alert
4. Notification settings

Configuring Notification Channels#

Regardless of the type of alert that is configured, the final step is to define who will receive the notification and through what means.

Platform and email notification#

This method is ideal for detailed notifications.

• Only a single user can be selected to receive the notification
• Email notifications are not subject to a quota and will be sent each time the condition of the alert is met.

SMS notification#

The SMS channel is designed for urgent alerts that require immediate attention.

• Only a single user can be selected to receive the SMS notification.
• It is essential that the phone number of the selected user is validated on the platform.
• SMS notifications are subject to a limited quota of sends. Once this quota is exhausted, the user will receive an email alerting that they will no longer be notified in this way.

Edit alerts#

If you wish, you can edit the alerts once they are created with certain limitations.

• Once an alert type has been assigned, it cannot be modified.
• The sensors or elements that define the alert cannot be modified, with exceptions. For example, you won't be able to edit the pressure sensor of a pressure alert, but you will be able to edit the actuator to close.

1. Access the edition from the alert detail screen by clicking on the "Edit alert" button
2. Modify the necessary fields and press "Save" to confirm

Delete alerts#

1. Select the alert you want to remove from the list of alerts
2. Go to the bottom of the alert view screen and tap on the "Delete" button
3. A pop-up screen will open to validate the action. Type the name of the alert and press "Delete" to continue with the action
