How To Customize Your Alertify Notifications And Thresholds

Take Full Control of Your Property Monitoring

Monitoring your property should be simple and convenient. With Alertify, you can customize your notifications and monitoring thresholds to fit your needs. Here’s how to do it:

📢 Customizing Your Notifications

Stay informed the way you prefer—whether it’s email, text, or both.

Step 1: Access Notification Settings

1️⃣ Open your Alertify dashboard and click on the “Units” tab in the left-hand menu.

2️⃣ Select the unit you want to adjust. Then navigate to the top menu and click on Monitoring Settings,

Step 2: Choose Notification Preferences

✅ In the General Settings, select the blue toggles to turn specific notifications on or off.

✅ Select how you want to receive notifications: text, email, or both.

🔊 Noise Thresholds and Follow-up Alerts

Set your maximum noise level and ensure you’re alerted at the right time.

Step 1: Adjust Noise Thresholds

1️⃣ In your Monitoring Settings, select the "Noise" tab on the left-hand menu.

2️⃣ Under "Noise Threshold", set the maximum noise level (in decibels) and time duration.

TIP: A normal conversation is around 60 dB.

Step 2: Customize Follow-up Notifications

✅ Set a time limit (from 5 to 60 minutes) before receiving the first alert.

✅ Add up to two follow-up notifications to track continued violations.

✅ Follow-ups are triggered based on the first alert, not the start of the noise.

Step 3: Set Custom Time Rules

📅 Need quiet hours or event-based exceptions?

✅ Adjust time-specific thresholds to prevent unnecessary alerts.

✅ Simply select a time range in which you want to adjust your noise threshold. Then adjust the threshold accordingly - whether it's higher to make the device less sensitive or lower to make the device more sensitive. Select the toggle if you want to disable noise monitoring during these hours.

🚭 Smoking Alerts

Detect and prevent indoor smoking in real-time.

Step 1: Set Up Smoking Notifications

1️⃣ In Monitoring Settings, click the "Smoke" tab.

2️⃣ You’ll receive an alert immediately if smoking is detected.

Step 2: Customize Follow-up Notifications

✅ Set up to two follow-up notifications to be alerted if smoking persists.

✅ Use Custom Time Rules to mute alerts at specific times.

👥 Occupancy Monitoring

Get alerts when occupancy levels exceed safe limits.

Step 1: Set Maximum Occupancy

1️⃣ In Monitoring Settings, select the "Occupancy" tab.

2️⃣ Enter your maximum guest limit.

Note: Alertify won’t notify you for one extra guest but will alert you if a large group is detected.

Step 2: Customize Follow-up Notifications

✅ Add up to two follow-up notifications if high occupancy levels persist.

🌡️ Temperature Alerts

Prevent property damage from extreme temperatures.

Step 1: Set Temperature Thresholds

1️⃣ In Monitoring Settings, select the "Temperature" tab.

2️⃣ Set your minimum and maximum temperature range.
