Add Alert Output

An Alarm Output type will trigger when any other output with a matching alarm is activated. To illustrate, setting up a “Red” level Alert output will activate whenever any other output has a Red alert. Moreover, if the alarm produces sound, turning off the Alert output will also silence the audible alarm.

Step 1: Create an Alert Output

1. From the STATUS screen on your HYDROS app, top on the three horizontal dots to the right of the OUTPUTS label and select “Add / Edit Output.”
2. Tap on the + symbol at the bottom right of the page
3. Type in the name of your new output and then tap “Create.”

Step 2: Configure your Alert Output

• Family: Advanced
• Type: Alert
• Alert Level: Here, you can specify which alert level will activate this output. 
• Output Device: If desired, turn on an outlet (WiFi, XP8, or Drive Port) or send a desired 0-10V voltage. Select the output device location here.
• Power Safe Range: You can set a specific power usage range that is considered “acceptable.” If the power consumption falls outside this range, you will receive a notification if you selected it.
  
  WARNING: This option is NOT available if the “Output Device” is assigned to an outlet that cannot monitor power, such as a WiFi Strip outlet.
• Power Notification Level: You can choose the notification level that will activate when power consumption exceeds the “Power Safe Range.”
  
  WARNING: This option is NOT available if the “Output Device” is assigned to an outlet that cannot monitor power, such as a WiFi Strip outlet.
• Is Invisible: If you choose to hide the input from the status screen, it will only become visible on pages that have “Show Invisible” selected.

Step 3: Save

• After configuring the output, tap the yellow bar at the bottom to upload your changes to the cloud and each HYDROS device.
