Mass Configuration: Sensor and Alert Settings

Each sensor threshold configuration task is named either a) for the type of sensor with which the sensor 
will be used (temperature, air flow, humidity, and so forth) or b) with a general name that describes the 
sort of sensor that is configured using the task. The sensor configuration tasks are:
• Air Flow Settings (to configure air flow sensors integrated with your devices)
• Amp Detector Settings (to configure amp detector sensors connected your devices)
• Audio Settings (to configure audio sensors integrated with your devices)
• Dew Point Settings (to configure dew point sensors integrated with your devices)
• Door Settings (to configure door switch sensors connected to your devices)
• Dry Contact Settings (to configure dry contact sensors connected to your devices)
• Humidity Settings (to configure humidity sensors integrated with or connected to your devices) 
• Motion Sensor Settings (to configure the camera motion sensors integrated with your devices)
• Power (VA) Settings (to configure your device volt amperage sensors) 
• Power (Volts) Settings (to configure your device voltage sensors) 
• Power (Watts) Settings (to configure your device wattage sensors) 
• Temperature Settings (to configure temperature sensors integrated with or connected to your 
devices)
• Other Numeric Sensors (to configure any other numeric sensors that are connected to your devices, 
but that cannot be configured using the other sensor configuration tasks)
• Other State Sensors (to configure any other state sensors that are connected to your devices, but that 
cannot be configured using the other sensor configuration tasks)
Numeric and State Sensors: Definitions
The sensors used by your devices fall into two categories: Numeric sensors and state sensors. Numeric 
sensors report sensor readings as a current value within a broad range of potential values defined by a 
minimum and maximum value, such as temperature or humidity readings. State sensors, on the other 
hand, report sensor readings as one of two mutually exclusive states, such as a door being “open” or 
“closed” or motion being “detected” or “not detected.” Due to the differences in the kind of data reported 
by these two sensor types, the thresholds that can be applied to each sensor type differ greatly.
The interface for each sensor-specific threshold configuration task consists of a series of panes, each of 
which corresponds to a different threshold type that is available for use with that sensor and device. When 
you select a threshold-specific tab, any thresholds of that type that have been configured on any selected 
devices are displayed in the task pane. 
Specifying Sensor Labels and History Settings
Use the Sensor Configuration window to specify a unique identification label for a sensor or to specify 
the total amount of data from the selected sensor that will be preserved on your NetBotz devices. To 
specify a label for a sensor, or to specify the total amount of time that data reported by a selected sensor 
should be stored on the device:
1. Select a device group from the navigation pane, or select one or more devices from the device list 
pane.
2. Right-click on the Sensor Settings icon that corresponds to the type of sensor that for which you will
