Understanding the Snooze Setting of a Rule in iMonnit

Rules in iMonnit have a setting called Snooze. This configuration allows a Rule to continue to send an alert at the configured time interval if the Rule is not Disarmed. Much like an alarm clock snooze setting, this is useful if a condition persists and needs to be acknowledged by a user. The Rule will continue to send the alert until it is Disarmed (Acknowledged).

Default 60-Minute Configuration

The Snooze setting default is 60 minutes. Therefore if a Rule is triggered and not Disarmed within the 60-minute Snooze time, repeat notifications will be sent every 60 minutes if the triggering condition persists. If the Rule is Disarmed and not Rearmed, the Notification will no longer be sent on the Snooze time interval even if the triggering condition persists without change.

Snooze Time Configuration

From New Look:

• Select the Rules tab in the main navigation menu.
• Select the Rule to edit the Snooze setting.
• Select the Edit icon in the top sub-navigation menu (pencil icon).
• Enter the desired number of minutes in the “Snooze: Don’t Alert again for (Minutes):” field.
• Select Save.

Example

Rule Trigger Condition: Notify when Sensor Reading is Greater than 45°F.

Task: Send email

Snooze Setting: Default 60 Minutes

Sensor Configuration: 10-minute Standard and Aware State Heartbeat

1:23 PM > Sensor checks in reading 42°F - No Rule triggered

1:33 PM > Sensor checks in reading 46°F - Rule triggered. Email sent. Snooze timer started

1:43 PM > Sensor checks in reading 46.5°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 10 out of 60 minutes, no change

1:53 PM > Sensor checks in reading 47°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 20 out of 60 minutes, no change

2:03 PM > Sensor checks in reading 47.5°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 30 out of 60 minutes, no change

2:13 PM > Sensor checks in reading 48°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 40 out of 60 minutes, no change

2:23 PM > Sensor checks in reading 49°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 50 out of 60 minutes, no change

2:33 PM > Sensor checks in reading 50°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Since Snooze reached 60 minutes, an additional email was sent, and the Snooze timer restarted.

2:43 PM > Sensor checks in reading 49°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 10 out of 60 minutes, no change

2:53 PM > Sensor checks in reading 50°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 20 out of 60 minutes, no change

3:03 PM > Sensor checks in reading 51°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 30 out of 60 minutes, no change

3:13 PM > Sensor checks in reading 50°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 40 out of 60 minutes, no change

3:23 PM > Sensor checks in reading 52°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 50 out of 60 minutes, no change

3:33 PM > Sensor checks in reading 52°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Since Snooze reached 60 minutes, an additional email was sent, and the Snooze timer restarted.

3:43 PM > Sensor checks in reading 51°F - Rule still triggered. Rule not yet Disarmed by the user. Snoozing for 10 out of 60 minutes, no change

3:46 PM > User Disarms Rule

3:53 PM > Sensor checks in reading 49°F - Rule still triggered. Rule Disarmed by User, no snooze timer

4:03 PM > Sensor checks in reading 50°F - Rule still triggered. Rule Disarmed by User, no snooze timer

4:13 PM > Sensor checks in reading 51°F - Rule still triggered. Rule Disarmed by User, no snooze timer

4:23 PM > Sensor checks in reading 48F - Rule still triggered. Rule Disarmed by User, no snooze timer

4:33 PM > Sensor checks in reading 47°F - Rule still triggered. Rule Disarmed by User, no snooze timer

4:43 PM > Sensor checks in reading 46°F - Rule still triggered. Rule Disarmed by User, no snooze timer

4:53 PM > Sensor checks in reading 44°F – Rule Rearmed (Reset). Since sensor reading is below configured Sensor Reading threshold in the Rule Settings, the Rule can again be triggered.
