The table below provides a summary of the different configuration options available to help clarify how the system can be setup to perform the various checks for you, and what they actually mean.
| I want to be able to... | Period to Monitor | Low Threshold Ticked? | Low Threshold Figure | High Threshold Ticked? | High Threshold Figure | Raise a notification after X consecutive breaches | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
check for any Periodic Channel that records Zero consumption | Day | Ticked | 0.01 (for each hour) | Unticked | n/a | 1 | As the Low Threshold is set to 0.01, anything below that will raise a notification, i.e, 0 will create a notification. Note, as the minimum time to monitor is 1 hour, the Channel will need to record 0 for two consecutive half hours if the Breach is set at 1.

| check for consumption between 00:00 and 06:00 (good to see if there is water (or energy) consumption overnight) | Day | Unticked | Times between 00:00 to 06:00 set at 20 (a low figure) and between 0700 and 23:00 set at 200 (a high figure) | Ticked | n/a | 4 | This configuration will monitor the consumption 24 hours. During 00:00 to 06:00 it will monitor if the consumption goes over 20 (the lowest you would expect to use in an hour), but during the day. 07:00 - 23:00 as the consumption figure is set high, this shouldn't cause any notifications. If you have the number of breaches set at 4, then the consumption would need to be lower than/higher than for 4 hours. (If your data is recorded half hourly, it will add up the two figures per hour).
