[Implemented] Alarm threshold - Data lost
Posted: Sun 01 Aug 2021 2:58 am
Hi all,
If I understand the alarm threshold and latch correctly, the threshold determines how many alarm events need to be activated within the threshold period before a notification is sent. I get the occasional data connection lost error on one of my stations (probably low wifi signal between the sensors and GW1000 as best I can determine) but it always picks up again after one or two alarms. It would be nice to be able to set a threshold value for the these alarms (Sensor contact lost, Data connection lost) so these intermittent errors are ignored. It might also be good to add low battery alarms to this list as I have noticed battery levels fall and rise slightly on my Ecowitt moisture sensor and it may trigger multiple alarms if this change happens around the alarm point.
This is a great feature btw - has trapped several real errors on my stations and notified me of some extreme weather events (high wind). I know the Ecowitt lightning sensors are a bit more specific to a station type, but the ability to alarm on lightning close by would be nice. Probably not a huge priority as I can get this from the Ecowitt dashboard page.
Cheers
Steve
