Why this helps
A silent device can go unnoticed when you only discover missing reports during a manual dashboard check.
- Check for missing activity on a recurring schedule.
- Use a duration you specify rather than an assumed baseline.
- Email a concise follow-up when supplied data shows a device is overdue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Agent mail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Quiet device follow-up.
- 3In one instruction, state the inactivity duration, recipient, and what to include in the email.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example containing device activity data, including a quiet device if available.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know when a device last reported?
The run needs to receive activity data with enough information to determine the last report time. Notis cannot infer missing history.
Can I choose how long a device may be quiet?
Yes. State the duration in the automation instruction so Notis can assess the supplied activity against it.
