Device Rules

Device Rules


If the user that you want to share notification with is not assigned permission to get notified, by clicking on this button you can overwrite the permission. This means the user(s) can get notifications if ‘ignore preference’ is selected.


If you select WebHook, you will get a textbox to enter call back URL. For Push notifications, you’ll have to enter device details to get notifications on those devices.


Yes, you can delete rule by clicking on the delete icon that you can find in the ride side of the rule list. To get detailed insights on rules check out how to guide.


Yes, you can change the recipients even after the rule is in action.


Yes, you can notify a group of people when the rule is executed by selecting the roles with whom you want to share the permission.


When an event is triggered you will be notified by the notification method that you have selected like email or UI alert.


You can send notifications via email, push notification, UI alert that notifies you on the platform itself, MQTT, WebHook, also via executing device command.


If you want to apply the rules on all the devices of an entity, it is essential to first create entity and assign devices to that entity.


Yes, you need to create template before creating rules for better device management. You can read more on templates here.


You can set a standard rule by defining single condition for single device. While a smart rule is when you associate multiple conditions for a single device. Example: if you set temperature>50 for device1, it will be a standard rule and if you set temperature>50 and humidity>40 for device1, it will be a smart rule.


To get notified about unusual behavior of your devices, you need to set conditions on those devices. If these conditions aren’t met, you get notified by several methods like UI alert, email, and others modes. These conditions in IoTConnect are termed as rules.
