Welcome to the subsequent chapter of our ‘Higher, with You’ journey! Now it’s time to current the newest updates to the IoT Distant app. These new options are all about making your time along with your IoT tasks smoother, extra enjoyable, and proper at your fingertips. Let’s dive in!

Should you haven’t caught up on our journey thus far, make certain to take a look at our first weblog put up of the collection, the place we reveal a model new UI on the Arduino Cloud.

Push notifications for real-time alerts

As your checklist of tasks grows and time turns into a uncommon commodity, checking the standing of all of your tasks regularly is sort of unattainable. That’s why having a heads-up for something vital taking place in your deployments is an absolute game-changer. A number of months in the past, we launched Triggers and Notifications, a characteristic that lets you configure situations within the Arduino Cloud that set off electronic mail notifications.

Now, with the new IoT Distant app model, you may customise and obtain alerts straight in your cellular machine. As a result of we all know how life can generally get loopy and handy it’s to get notified straight in your cellphone. 

Bear in mind, to unlock this characteristic, you’ll want the Maker plan ($5.99/month). Be sure you improve your plan to make use of it.

The way to use the notifications in your cellphone

The method is sort of easy:

• Configure your Triggers and Notifications within the Arduino Cloud
• Allow notifications within the IoT Distant app

Configure your Triggers and Notifications within the Arduino Cloud

To configure a notification you simply should

• Go to https://app.arduino.cc/triggers. 
• Click on on CREATE TRIGGER to start out the creation of the Set off.
• Configure your situation choosing your variable.
• Configure your required motion: On this case choose “Ship Push Notification.” Word that you would be able to moreover configure electronic mail notifications as effectively for a similar set off.
• Outline the fields of your notification: Title and Physique.

Triggers arrange course of in Arduino Cloud

And that’s it. You might be able to configure notifications in your cell phone.

Allow notifications on the cell phone

While you open the app with the brand new model for the primary time, you might be prompted to permit the app to ship you notifications. Should you settle for, you might be able to go and you’ll obtain on the spot alerts.

What’s Arduino Cloud?

In case you’re new to this complete idea of the Arduino Cloud, we didn’t wish to miss the chance to remind you of it right here. The Arduino Cloud is the subsequent thrilling journey for IoT lovers to deliver their tasks to life rapidly. It’s an all-in-one intuitive IoT platform, supporting a variety of {hardware} and backed by the colourful Arduino group. The Arduino Cloud removes complexity to empower customers from all ranges of experience to create from wherever, and management and share their tasks with superb dashboards that may be accessible with the IoT Distant app.

The next video gives a complete fast tour of the brand new UI.

Obtain the IoT Distant app

Able to attempt alerts in your cellphone and discover the brand new appear and feel? Study extra concerning the new IoT Distant app options, obtain the IoT Distant app (accessible for Android and iOS), and create a brand new account to get began with the Arduino Cloud. 

And keep tuned for extra information. We’re making a higher cloud, with you!
