# Notifications

Sensors will receive notifications when there are events that need your attention. Notifications of all the sensors in your organisation can be viewed in the Notifications page.

The Notifications page shows recent active and cleared alarms, as well as their details. Clicking on the "VIEW" button will take you to the Sensor page.

Depending on the organisation and user notificaiton settings, some users will also receive emails or sms notifications when an event emerges and ends.

## Notification Types

### **High/Low Water Level Alarm**

Water Level Alarms will be asserted when the water level is crossing the preconfigured threshold(s). The alarm remains active until the water level is back to normal.

**Example Email Content**

> High Water Level Alert !\
> \
> Sensor: Freemans Bay \
> Serial: 4192FE \
> Organisation: Your Organisation
>
> Current water level: 1 m.
>
> View more details at <https://live.waterwatch.io/org/your-oirganisation-1f2b/notifications\\>
> Thanks, the Waterwatch Team.

**Example SMS Content**

> Waterwatch Alert! High water level is detected by the sensor "Freemans Bay".

###

### **Rapid Change Alarm**

Rapid Change Alarm will be triggered if the water level is rising or falling more drastically than the preconfigured threshold. Rapid Change Alarms are message-like notifications, which means they do not have a active/deactive state.

**Example Email Content**

> Water Level Rapid Change Alert !
>
> Sensor: Freemans Bay \
> Serial: 4192FE\
> Organisation: Your Organisation
>
> Current water level: 1.332 m. The water level has fallen 1.835 m in the latest 10 minutes.
>
> View more details at <https://live.waterwatch.io/org/your-oirganisation-1f2b/notifications\\>
> Thanks, the Waterwatch Team.

**Example SMS Content**

> A rapid falling in water level is detected by the sensor "Freemans Bay".

### **Sensor Movement Alarm**

If you purchased sensors with Sensor Movement Detection feature from Waterwatch, you will receive a Sensor Movement Alarm when the sensor is moved. Like Rapid Change Alarm, you will receive a notice when the event occurs.

{% hint style="info" %}
Not all sensors come with a Sensor Movement Alarm feature. Please contact Waterwatch for more information if you are interested.
{% endhint %}

**Example Email Content**

> Sensor Movement Detected Alert !
>
> Sensor: Tank Sensor 8000CB \
> Serial: 8000CB \
> Organisation: Your Organisation
>
> View more details at <https://live.waterwatch.io/org/your-oirganisation-1f2b/notifications\\>
> Thanks, the Waterwatch Team.

**Example SMS Content**

> Movement is detected by the sensor "Tank Sensor 8000CB"

### **Sensor Offline**

If a sensor is not communicated with Waterwatch Live within a certain amount of time, it will be asserted as offline. The warning remains active until Waterwatch Live receives messages from the sensor again.

**Example Email Content**

> Offline Alert !
>
> Sensor: LS1-P 4165AB\
> Serial: 004165AB \
> Organisation: Your Organisation
>
> This Sensor is currently offline. It was last seen 11 hours ago.
>
> View more details at <https://live.waterwatch.io/org/your-oirganisation-1f2b/notifications\\>
> Thanks, the Waterwatch Team.

**Example SMS Content**

> The sensor "LS1-P 4165AB" is currently offline.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Action Required**\
Please Contact Waterwatch Support Team for help. Many reasons could cause a sensor going offline: vandalised, network outage, flat battery etc.
{% endhint %}

### **Low Battery**

If a sensor's estimated battery is lower than 10%, a low battery warning will be asserted. The warning remains active until the battery level is restored.

**Example Email Content**

> Low Battery Alert !
>
> Sensor: LS1-R 4165A7 Harbour \
> Serial: 004165A7 \
> Organisation: Your Organisation
