Alerts provide you with the possibility of receiving notifications via e-mail or WhatsApp in case of certain machine behavior. We offer two types: power alerts and standby alerts.
- Standby alert: Standby alerts are based on our algorithm, automatically detecting when an electricity asset is on standby and sending you an alert. You can choose after which period an alert is sent and who receives the alert.
- Power alert: Power alerts are set with specific thresholds for energy consumption. You can for example receive an alert when the machine switches off unexpectedly or when the power becomes too high.
- Gas consumption alert
- Water consumption alert
- Air flow alert
