Real-Time Awareness: Introducing Chirp’s Notification Center

Today, we’re introducing another essential tool for anyone running IoT setups on Chirp: the Notification Center. Built for clarity and speed, it helps you keep track of what’s happening across your devices, system rules, and infrastructure — without needing to constantly check dashboards.

What It Solves

In a real-world IoT deployment, events can happen at any time:
A device disconnects, a sensor exceeds a temperature threshold, or a connection drops for too long.

Manually monitoring these events doesn’t scale. That’s where Notification Center comes in. It ensures that the right alerts reach the right people — with the right priority — the moment something changes.

Core Features

Here’s what you can do with the Notification Center:

• Receive alerts in real time when system conditions are met
• Sort notifications by priority: Critical, Important, and Informational
• View a clear list of alerts with timestamps
• Filter alerts by date or priority
• Mark messages as read once reviewed
• Delete notifications to keep your view focused

Whether it’s something urgent (like a device going offline) or routine (like a daily report), notifications are clearly labeled so you can act accordingly.

Example: A Rule in Action

Imagine you’ve set up a rule: “If a temperature sensor reads over 70°C, send a Critical alert.”

Here’s how it plays out:

1. The system continuously monitors the condition.
2. When the threshold is crossed, the rule is triggered.
3. A Critical notification is generated and appears in the Notification Center.
4. You receive an email alert as well (if configured).
5. You review the message, mark it as read, and fix the issue.

All of this happens automatically — and instantly.

Notification Rules and Delivery

When creating a rule, you can:

• Define custom trigger conditions
• Select priority level (Critical, Important, Information)
• Set recipients, email subject, and message content
• Adjust how often alerts are sent (e.g. once, hourly, or daily)
• Choose to repeat notifications until the issue is resolved

Default Intervals (adjustable):

• Critical — every 1 hour (one-time enabled by default)
• Important — every 4 hours
• Information — once per day

Use Cases

Whether you’re running Chirp devices in a factory, field, or across multiple locations, the Notification Center brings structure to your alerts:

• Get notified when devices go offline
• React to abnormal readings or sensor data
• Track system behavior changes
• Maintain visibility without constant manual checks
