Triggered Alerts

Now that you have your dashboard built, you'll want to set Triggers to be alerted when your beer goes low or your Pi's stop running. That is easy to do.

Go to your bucket shelf and click the settings under your Smart Beer Fridge bucket. Go to the Triggers tab. For the Trigger alert for beer going low set the Stream Key to w1_weight or w2_weight, select the less than or equal to operator, and set the value to 10 or less, depending on how low you want your fridge to go before you get alerted. Click the plus sign. Enter your email or phone number and click the plus sign.

For the Trigger alert when the Pi stops running, set the Stream Key to Pi+Wii1 Monitor, set the operator to equal, and set the value to Exited. Click the plus sign. Add your email or phone number and click the plus sign. Repeat this same setup with the Stream Key equal to Pi+Wii2 Monitor so you can be alert for both Pi's.

Once you are done click the Done button on the bottom and your Triggers are now set! You can enjoy all the beers you want and you'll never have to worry about running out again.
