Alerting/Monitoring

[heimdm]

I have a 2 GEM's and a Dashbox. I would like to set up some type of alerts when conditions are met. For example, I have a radon system/fan on its own circuit, so I'd like to know when that circuit drops to below 80 watts. Suggestions/ideas?

i do not have specific recommendations for an alert/monitoring system, but i would highly recommend using MQTT for the transport. if you feed data from your GEM into an MQTT broker, then you can use any system that uses MQTT to do the analysis, graphing, alerts, and monitoring.

for example, with an MQTT plugin you could use nagis, zabbix, munin, zenoss, or one of the many other alter/monitoring systems.

and of course you can easily connect MQTT to influxdb or other aggregators for easy plotting with grafana or the many d3-based plotting tools.

All of my GEM's 32 channels, 8 temperature, 4 pulse, voltage is monitored from my ISY Series Controller. I essentially have hundreds of programs that are defined to monitor, react, and send alert messages via SMS / email.

The controller also tracks the current, low, high values for historic recall. All of this data is also calculated to offer run time, frequency, and out of band values I have defined as in band / out of band for safety.

Because the system is indeed a Home Automation (HA) controller I can turn on / off those devices manually or allow the system to automatically react to the homes needs. Lastly all of the same data is relayed to SEG for more fine grain historic recall because it offers more charting options when compared to the Dash Box (DB).
