I have setup the alarms to monitor my starter battery to alert me when it goes low. Its the timeout value that seems to not work as I thought it would. I don't want to get notified when it drops low for a few seconds during engine start up. I only wanted to be alarmed if its low for a minimum of and hour, 3600 seconds as I have it set to. What am I not understanding about that setting? Is it possible to have it wait the full hour of it being low prior to it alarming? -Bill
I use the notify after setting on my water tank level which goes to zero when the water pump runs as the level gauge is a pressure one on the pump inlet. Set for 900 seconds (15 mins) so it does not alarm during a shower when the tank continuously reads empty even if it really is 100%. Therefore it should work for your starter battery.
I also have this problem and have tried various "notify after" times, e.g. 60sec, 120sec, and 3600sec. It seems to me that these changes just delay the actual notification.
This setting does not appear to be designed correctly, as the alarms on starting the engine will always generate nuisance (low voltage) alarms in "normal" engine start conditions.
What we need is the option to "disregard" low voltage alarm if only for a period of "xxx".
