We have all the controller code installed for Alerts, we just need to configure some values and settings.<\/p>\n

Choose a suitable sensor to add some alerts and enter values for High Alert, Low Alert & Email Recipient.<\/p>\n

In order for the hub to send email notifications, it needs to know some details about the Mail Server<\/em>, Email From <\/em>address and Email Sender<\/em>. These are Settings that need to be configured in the Organisation | Settings tab.<\/p>\n

The Mail Server field needs to be populated with the name of your mail server, and the Email Sender with a valid email address. The Email From field is just the value displayed in the email, and could potentially be any text.
