Alert Dispatch


The moment a sensor trips, the right people know.

Alert Dispatch is the part that reaches out. When a device is triggered or stops reporting, it composes a message and sends it by email and text to every contact in every group watching that device, de-duplicated, so nobody is messaged twice.

Every message carries the full picture: the device ID, the hardware type, the pin name, latitude and longitude, the nearest street address, the date and time, and the status. A responder reading it on a phone at two in the morning has an address to drive to and a device to look for, with nothing else to look up.

Delivery is deliberately server-side. Your mail and SMS credentials live on your own installation, never in a public web page where they could be copied. A rate limit, a per-device cooldown and a simulate mode that sends nothing mean the system can be configured and rehearsed safely before a single real message goes out. Every attempt is logged with its delivery result, and anything that fails can be retried.

At a glance:

  • Email and SMS on trigger and on loss of reporting
  • Full device detail in every message, including street address
  • Sent to every watching group, de-duplicated across them
  • Credentials held on your server, never in the page
  • Cooldown prevents alert storms
  • Simulate mode for safe setup and drills
  • Complete delivery log with retry and CSV export
