TABLE 5-1. EXPLANATION OF ACTION TYPES
EXPLANATION
Send an email. Check SMTP settings on menu settings to be able to send mails. You have the option
of sending emails only once per alarm, and there is an option to have IoT Web send out an extra Email
once the alarm condition ends. For the message itself, you can use variables as follows:
%1%
Time
%2%
Value
%3%
Unit
%4%
Lastvalue (only works if storing values is not disabled)
Example email message:
"The temperature changed at %1% from %4% %3% to %2% %3%."
You can also define that an image from an URL is downloaded and sent as an attachment. This is
useful with IP Cameras and motion or door contact sensors.
Note: You need an IP Camera having a snapshot capability in this example.
Send an SNMPSET Command. You need to know certain values just like for the SNMPGET Method for
virtual sensors.
Send out a SNMP TRAP.
Change the interval of another sensor.
NOTES:
•
Have another action to revert interval changes.
•
This makes manual edits for intervals obsolete.
Change the color setting of corresponding dashboxes.
NOTES:
•
Have another action to revert color changes.
•
This makes manual edits for color changes obsolete.
Play an alarm sound. To change the alarm sound, see Chapter 11:Tips and Tricks.
Apart from wireless physical sensors for LoRaWAN
type, you can switch to ON/OFF or you can just toggle it.
IoT Web is prepared with these type of home automation wireless LAN devices. This action allows you
to switch these. There is a video on how to use and set these Shelly devices up with IoT Web.
Every dashbox is sourced from either a virtual or a physical sensor. With this action method, you can
change that.
Using this action method, a specific user, when logged in, is forced to view a specific dashboard.
Using this action will amend the content of a Container (virtual sensor type) according to your
configuration (Set/Add/Substract).
