4.1. Remote Monitoring

Once your Proteus AMBIO sensor is set up, you can monitor temperature and humidity data remotely through the Proteus web portal. Access the portal from any web browser on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. The dashboard displays real-time readings and allows you to adjust settings as needed.

You can customize alert thresholds for both temperature and humidity. When readings fall outside your set range, the sensor will trigger alerts. Alerts can be sent to multiple email addresses and phone numbers via text message. The built-in buzzer will also sound locally.

• Temperature Alerts: Set minimum and maximum temperature values.
• Humidity Alerts: Set minimum and maximum relative humidity percentages.
• Power Outage Alerts: The device will notify you if it loses power and when power is restored.
• Buzzer Control: The smart buzzer can be programmed to turn off automatically after a set period to prevent prolonged noise.

4.3. Multi-Sensor Management

If you have multiple Proteus sensors, they can all be managed from a single dashboard, providing a centralized view of all monitored locations. You can also grant view-only access to trusted individuals for shared monitoring.
