Alerts
Alerts and automation are the same system on SiliconWit.io: one rule engine that can notify you, control a device, or both. There’s no separate “Alerts” area in the dashboard, it’s all under Dashboard → Automation (the in-app link at /dashboard/alerts redirects there automatically).
What you can build
Section titled “What you can build”- Threshold alerts, e.g. “email me when temperature goes above 30°C”
- Sustained alerts, e.g. “only alert if it’s stayed above 30°C for 5 minutes,” to filter out a brief spike
- Device offline alerts, e.g. “text me if this sensor stops reporting”
- Multi-condition alerts (Business+), e.g. “temperature > 40°C AND humidity < 20%”
- Notify by email, SMS, Discord, Slack, Telegram, or a custom webhook, and optionally control a device at the same time
See the full Automation guide for every trigger type, operator, action, and plan availability, plus Alert Integrations for connecting Discord, Slack, Telegram, or a webhook.
