Add Alert Output

A type of output called an Alarm Output will trigger when any other output with a matching alarm is activated. To illustrate, if you set up a “Red” level Alert output, it 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 New 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

• Type: Select “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.” In case the power consumption falls outside this range, you will receive a notification if you have 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 the power consumption goes beyond 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.
