Smart Alerts
Smart Alerts enable the ENVIROMUX to contact users when specially configured circumstances exist for defined sensors. Smart
Alerts will respond to 1 or more alert conditions independent of the alert configurations for each sensor configured on page 38.
Assorted conditions can produce configurable events (up to 50) that can then be used in numerous scenarios to produce Smart
Alert messages (up to 20) that are sent to users. In addition, the already configured alert status of any sensor or group of
sensors can be used to trigger Smart Alerts.
To begin, Events must be defined and configured. Events are sensor conditions to be notified of. Events logged based on the
sensor configurations described on page 38 will be managed separately from events logged by these user-defined Events.
Sensor configuration for these Events will have no impact on the general configuration of your sensors. User-defined Events
provide more control over what you want to be notified of.
For example, if an IP camera is located just inside a monitored entranceway, and an image is desired of each person that goes
through that entrance, it may be difficult to get the image consistently since people move at different rates of speed. Using
multiple events triggered by the same sensor, each having the Event Delay configured for a different time period and/or a different
camera to take the image, you can use Events to be assured of taking a snapshot of the person entering/leaving.

You will be prompted to select which connected sensor to associate the event with. Which sensor’s data do you want to trigger
this event? Once the sensor is selected, click “Add”.
