Event Notifications

Overview

In an Internet of Things (IoT) solution, an IoT network sends notifications for real-time monitoring of a device, entity, or device group status. IoTConnect triggers an alert for a running device if a function’s value exceeds the threshold value in a rule. Then, IoTConnect sends an alert notification to the specified users. This guarantees the product is running as expected.

You can configure flexible rules to set trigger conditions based on your device, entity, or group’s functions. While you configure the rule, choose to send notifications to the respective roles and users. You can also send notifications to the monitoring console users for viewing and processing.

As your IoT solution scales out, the number of devices, volume of alert notifications, variety of events and different services also vary. With that, you need a flexible, scalable, consistent, and reliable IoT platform that sends and documents notifications.

In all, notification is a way to send alarms to users via their chosen delivery methods when events happen. Notifications get triggered based on different conditions and behaviors as you define them.
