Take a look in our crystal ball to see what the future holds at Monnit

Monnit's development team is hard at work developing new products for our customers. One of the new products nearing completion is a remote thermostat. Monnit's thermostat will be different than typical thermostats found today, as it is designed specifically for remote configuration. There will be no manual adjustment buttons which will prevent the cooling or heating system from being tampered with or left in an energy wasting state. It will also feature an integrated motion sensor to auto detect if the area is occupied or not. The system will allow you to set a max and min temperature range for both occupied and non-occupied states as well as standard time settings. This is a perfect solution for remote buildings that are typically unoccupied, to auto adjust comfort levels when personnel arrive and automatically return to normal when they leave. It is also great for corporate buildings, schools and churches to prevent random adjustments by unauthorized people and auto detect occupants to adjust comfort levels. It also provides cost savings by allowing the cooling or heating system go into a power saving mode if an area is not in use. If you would like to learn more about this product or be notified when it becomes available, please email us at sales@monnit.com.

Using the Monnit Local Alert

The Monnit Local Alert is a device capable of receiving notifications and sensor readings from your iMonnit sensor network, and alerting you where someone is most capable of responding to a critical condition. When the Local Alert receives a notification it can set off an audio/visual alarm comprised of a loud 90 dB buzzer, an ultra-bright red flashing LED, and an LCD display capable of showing a custom message.

In addition to alerting, the Local Alert can also display recent sensor readings from any sensor on the same account. Sensor readings, unlike notifications, do not cause alarms to trigger, do not display automatically, and cannot override notifications already saved in memory. The Local Alert can save up to 10 notifications or sensor readings in memory at any given time. If it exceeds 10 notifications the oldest notification is deleted. Notifications take priority over sensor readings in the memory so when memory is full and a new notification is received sensor readings are deleted before deleting notifications. If the memory is full of notifications sensor readings will be ignored until there is an unoccupied memory slot or a slot with an older sensor reading.

After the alarm sounds, the user can view the notification message and clear the alarm by pressing the button. The button can also be used to clear notifications and reset the device.

Adding the Local Alert to your wireless sensor network
The Local Alert can be added to your sensor network through the iMonnit online sensor monitoring software the same way wireless sensors are.

Do not power the Local Alert on until it has been assigned to a network and a wireless gateway on the same network is already active.

Steps to add a wireless Local Alert to your sensor network.

• Choose "Manage" from the main navigation.
• Select the network you would like to add the device to.
• Click the "Add Sensor" button.
• Enter the ID and Security Code from the back label of the Local Alert.
• Press the "Assign Sensor" button.

• Once the Local Alert has been added to your network, power cycle your gateway to ensure that it will recognize the Local Alert.
• Power the Local Alert by attaching and plugging in the power supply or inserting batteries, then turn the power switch to on.
• The LCD will display the message, "LINKING…"
• If the LCD displays the message "LINK FAILURE" then press the button after the message disappears to force the Local Alert to retry linking or cycle the power using the power switch.
• Once linked to a gateway, in the iMonnit online software, verify that data is being received by viewing the device's history tab in iMonnit.

Configuring the Local Alert
In the iMonnit edit tab for the Local Alert there are several configurable options.

Setting Notifications / Alerts Features

1. Notifications can be associated with the Local Alert by selecting the Local Alert device under the Devices to Notify tab in the notification settings. Activate alerting to the device by clicking the icon to the left of the local alert name. A green icon means it is active for the alert, a grey icon means it is not active.
2. Once active, various alarms can be enabled by clicking on them (green = active). From left to right the icons are; LED Alarm, Buzzer Alarm, and Display Alarm.
3. Changes made in this screen take effect immediately there is no save button that needs to be pressed.
