I'm great at beta testing usability but I know essential zero actual programming and try to keep it that way so forgive the possible naivete on my part.
Alarms are so critical and such an important item in these systems. In the past year it's saved me from leaks, faulty heater, and tipped me off to issues with my kalk dosing.
What would be incredibly helpful (if it doesn't already exist) is the ability to easily define how frequently a particular alarm sounds, when, and have it be specific to the particular item. Simple adjustments without me setting up a series of virtual outlets or redundant code to trick the system.
Ex:
Leak - set for every min for the love of God wake up kinda thing. Possibly even set how long that should continue for even.
Temp - lower then the first heater should be but a second heater should catch it and it hasn't dropped below the second heaters parameters. Notify anytime during such and such hours, send a periodic notification but make sure to retroactively sound the alarm if it happens during a do not disturb time.
Skimmer is full - just once and if it's during the night tell me at 7am instead.
Text coding - continue to improve the clarity of the texts that arrive. Most are simple enough.
Alarm in the system - allow a person to clear the notification so I know if a new one happens.
The other usability 'shortcuts' have been very helpful so hopefully this is possible under the current structure.
Thanks, no response needed unless this already exists and thanks for having a system that saved my tail.
