Why this helps
Important device readings can get buried in dashboards while you are focused on other work.
- Get a concise alert when a supplied threshold is crossed.
- Include the feed name, reading, and threshold in the message when present in the webhook payload.
- Reduce the need to keep checking device dashboards.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Dripcel once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to evaluate forwarded feed readings against your threshold and send an SMS only when it is crossed.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger, configure your external sender to forward Adafruit IO readings to its HTTP endpoint, and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real reading and confirm the recipient and message before relying on alerts.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a trigger event for this automation?
No. This workflow starts with a Notis webhook. An external sender must forward the relevant Adafruit IO reading to the webhook endpoint.
Where does the threshold come from?
State the threshold in your instruction to Notis. The workflow evaluates readings included in forwarded webhook requests.
Can it send to more than one person?
The selected Dripcel action sends one SMS to a contact. Use a recipient supported by that action and confirm the number before enabling it.
