IAMMETER Alert & Notification Setup Guide

Step 0: What You Will Achieve

In this guide, you will learn how to:

• Create a notice group (who receives alerts)
• Set up energy alerts (based on power or consumption)
• Receive email notifications automatically
• (Optional) Trigger automation like MQTT or webhook

Step 1: Create a Notice Group

Before setting alerts, you must create a Notice Group.

A notice group is a list of email recipients who will receive alerts and reports.

1.1 Add Contacts

1. Go to Notification → Contacts
2. Click Add Contact
3. Enter the email address

1.2 Create a Notice Group

1. Go to Notification → Notice Group

3. Select contacts to include

Step 2: (Optional) Enable Monthly Billing Report

You can automatically receive a monthly electricity report.

1. Go to Auto Sending
2. Enable Monthly Billing Report
3. Select a notice group

Step 3: Set Up Energy Consumption Alerts

IAMMETER supports alerts based on energy consumption.

3.1 Daily or Monthly Consumption Alert

1. Go to Auto Sending → Add Rule
2. Select:
   • Daily consumption OR
   • Monthly consumption
3. Set the threshold value
4. Select the notice group

💡 Recommended for users with tiered electricity pricing

Step 4: Set Up Real-Time Power / Current Alerts

You can trigger alerts based on real-time data (power or current).

4.1 Create a Trigger Rule

1. Go to Auto Sending → Add Rule
2. Select:
   • Meter
   • Phase (if three-phase meter)
3. Choose trigger type:
   • Power (W)
   • Current (A)

4.2 Set Threshold

• Define the threshold value
• Choose condition:
  • Greater than
  • Less than

4.3 Select Trigger Type

• Level Trigger Triggered continuously when condition is met
• Edge Trigger Triggered only when crossing the threshold

4.4 Set Minimum Interval

To prevent excessive alerts:

• Level trigger: minimum 30 minutes
• Edge trigger: minimum 1 minute

4.5 Select Action (Email Alert)

1. Choose Notice Group
2. Enable email notification

Step 5: Enable Device Offline Alert

IAMMETER can notify you when the device goes offline.

• Triggered when no data is uploaded for more than 10 minutes
• Sends alert email automatically

Step 6: Test Your Setup

To make sure everything works:

• Turn on/off a load to trigger power change
• Check your email inbox
• Review logs in IAMMETER cloud

Step 7: (Optional) Advanced Automation

7.1 Webhook Integration

Send alert data to external systems:

• ERP
• Monitoring systems
• Custom dashboards

7.2 MQTT Automation (Recommended)

Control devices automatically based on energy data.

Example:

• If solar export power > threshold
• → Turn on smart socket
