Indoor climate monitoring shows temperature and humidity events in the unit and alerts your team when conditions put your unit at risk. It covers four kinds of alerts: temperature outside your set range, humidity outside your set range, mold risk, and temperatures approaching freezing. Alerts are also recorded on the unit's timeline. Which settings and alerts are available can depend on your plan.
How to turn ON indoor climate monitoring
Click on the unit you want to turn Indoor climate monitoring ON in
Click Indoor climate
Click ON
Enable Temperature and/or Humidity
The Safety alerts are always set ON
If Indoor Climate is turned ON you will always be notified if there is mold risk or the temperature is near freezing temperatures
You will only receive an alert if the temperature exceeds or falls below your set thresholds for 30 minutes or more.
You will receive an immediate alert when the temperature returns within your set range. The same applies to humidity alerts.
A unit shows as alerting while at least one of its sensors is outside the set range, and goes back to normal once none of its sensors have an ongoing indoor climate alert. Mold risk and near-freezing alerts also count towards this status, even if the Temperature and Humidity toggles are off.
How to change the indoor climate threshold
Click on the sensor you want to change the settings on
Click on Settings (top right corner)
Click on Threshold
Edit the Temperature and/or Humidity thresholds
Thresholds can also be managed through your monitoring presets. Changes made there can take a little while to reach the sensors, so alerts can be briefly delayed right after a change.
Keep in mind Indoor Monitoring is unavailable when the Minut M3 sensor is installed outdoors. Sensors that are charging are also not used for indoor climate alerts.
'Almost freezing' warnings
When the temperature measured by a sensor approaches freezing, Minut will automatically send a warning to all team members with access to the unit.
The temperature must have been below 5°C/41°F for over 5 hours for the warning to trigger.
Where you see indoor climate status
Unit list: the Indoor climate column shows Normal when the unit is monitored with no ongoing alert, Alert when there is an ongoing alert, and a dash when indoor climate monitoring is off for that unit.
Temperature readings are shown in °C or °F, depending on your account setting. The Warm and Cold labels match the value you see: by default Warm is 30°C / 86°F or above and Cold is 15°C / 59°F or below.
Unit charts: residential unit pages have temperature and humidity charts, and a PM2.5 chart when a sensor measures it. The default range is one month. If the unit has several sensors, use the sensor picker to choose which one to view.
Dashboard widget: counts the units with an ongoing indoor climate alert and links to the list of those units.
Reports: see Indoor Climate Analytics for trends across your portfolio.
Turning indoor climate monitoring off
To turn it off, open the unit, click Indoor climate and switch it OFF. While it is off, that unit no longer sends indoor climate alerts, including the safety alerts for mold risk and near-freezing temperatures. You can turn it back on at any time.
Indoor climate monitoring only measures temperature and humidity. It doesn't use cameras or record audio.
