Static Threshold Alerting for All Meter Types

Feature Request

Overview

Allow users and administrators to configure static threshold-based alerts for all meter types on the platform — covering both consumption meters (e.g. water, electricity, gas in volume/energy units) and non-consumption meters (e.g. CO2 in ppm, temperature, humidity).

Problem

Currently, alerting is limited to anomaly detection based on dynamic/statistical analysis. There is no way to set a fixed threshold and receive an alert when a meter reading crosses that value. This is a common need for both operational monitoring (e.g. "alert me when water consumption exceeds X m³") and environmental/comfort monitoring (e.g. "alert me when CO2 exceeds 1000 ppm").

Proposed Solution

• Static threshold configuration — Allow users to define upper and/or lower threshold values for any meter, regardless of type.
• Support for all meter types — Including but not limited to:
• Consumption meters: water (m³), electricity (kWh), gas (m³)
• Non-consumption meters: CO2 (ppm), temperature (°C), humidity (%), pressure, etc.
• Alert triggers — Send a notification (email and/or in-app) when a reading crosses the defined threshold.
• Threshold management — Administrators can view, edit, and delete configured thresholds per meter or per building/zone.
• Optional: sustained breach alerts — Only trigger an alert if the threshold is exceeded for a configurable duration, to avoid noise from short spikes.

User Story

As an administrator, I want to set static threshold values on any meter type so that I am alerted when readings exceed or fall below a defined limit, enabling proactive monitoring beyond anomaly detection.

Value

• Enables proactive operational and environmental monitoring
• Covers use cases that dynamic anomaly detection cannot address (e.g. regulatory limits, comfort thresholds)
• Applicable across a wide range of industries and meter types
• Gives users direct control over alert sensitivity
