Adding an alarm for VOC readings?

Rog had great steps laid out. I thought I sent @mishmosh a direct message here, but I can’t see any evidence that it sent, unless I’m just missing it.

@nick don’t suppose there has been any [progress with this?

Alarms for TVOC is supported by the backend in the meantime, but the UI part is missing. The plan is to implement it along with some other small improvements. I’ve increased the priority.

Hi @nick. Thanks for this info. Yes, the issue with the email alarms system, is that the person doing whatever task that is generating fumes/particles etc, is not at computer or watching their phone to receive an email, even if it was them rather than the air gradient login/admin email that was to be emailed. So practically speaking, we don’t find this feature of great use when we are actually trying to diagnose issues and improve air quality.

After a bit of footering about, we have had good success with @MallocArrays firmware/update so one unit/sensor here is showing VOCs on the LEDs and changing colour when an issue is encountered. For us this makes the units considerably more useful
