Control panel
Try Sentinel without going into AWS: switch the plant machine on or off, and choose who receives the plant alerts on WhatsApp.
Plant machine
Looking up the machine that runs the simulated plant.
Who receives the alerts
Good to know
-
Add a number
Type a name and a phone number with its country code, then press Add number. From then on that person receives the plant alerts on WhatsApp and can chat with the Sentinel assistant.
-
Remove a number
Press Remove next to a number and confirm. The number is deleted from the list: it stops receiving the plant alerts and can no longer talk to the assistant.
-
Confirmation message
When you add a number, a confirmation message ("Number registered") is sent to that phone, and it should arrive within the next few minutes. It confirms that the subscription to the plant alerts worked. If you do not receive it, check the number: it may have a typo or not have WhatsApp.
-
Start or stop the machine
The button always offers what is possible right now: Start when the machine is stopped, Stop when it is running. Either can take a few minutes, and the status updates by itself.
-
After starting it
The plant software needs a few minutes to boot and begin sending data, so the first alert can take several minutes to arrive after the machine is on.
-
While it is off
No plant data flows, so no alerts are produced. An alert that was about to go out when you stopped the machine is sent when it is back, possibly all at once.
-
When you finish testing
Please stop the machine when you finish testing. While it is on, the plant keeps producing alerts, so you would keep receiving them even after you have run and evaluated the platform.
