Sensors

The following options are shown when tapping a sensor in the monitoring category:

A monitoring event is sent periodically (e.g. every minute in the case of Billy-Billy). These events can be stored locally (in a limited capacity) or by using the cloud.

A Cloud account is required for advanced functionality of the events (i.e. graphs and summaries).

Monitoring options

The following options can be set for the registration of the events:

Set how the events should be registered
Set how the user should be notified of the event.
Set how long the events should be stored locally

See the section Cloud retention for more information on how long events are stored on the zbos cloud system.

Event registration

The following options are for registering the events:

Tap the option 'Enabled' to start registering events locally (on the device itself) and on the cloud.
Tap the option 'Cloud syncing enabled' to register the events on the ZBOS Cloud.

Notifications

The following options can only be used if the events are registered on the cloud.

The following options are available for notifying the user:

Toggle the option 'E-mail notifications' to receive an e-mail on the registered e-mail address of the cloud account when the event occurs.
Toggle the option 'Push notifications' to receive a notification on the device containing ZBOS Control if ZBOS Control isn’t active.

Persistence (local events only)

Set how the local events should be stored (memory or disk)⁽¹⁾.
Set how many events should be stored (e.g. all events for 7 days or 7 items total).

⁽¹⁾: If the option 'Memory' is selected, the events will be erased once the device reboots.

Changing the options will erase the currently stored local events.
