The app will notify you when a device has stopped working or is not hitting data for some time. Users can adjust the hanging period โ expected time-span between two data hits.ย
Most IoT devices fail because there is no warning if data has not arrived to the Cloud (or any other online data storage). Imagine that you have an IoT device for flood detection in your home and you think everything is now secured once you bought this little device to alarm you. After all, flood can cause major costs if there are ceiling breaches and water pours down in the neighbour's apartment... No one wants that to happen, the costs of repairing the flood cause are already enough.
Therefore, we have developed an alarm that will notify you if data has not been received from your IoT device.ย
