Usage

In the Users tab check the users to be notified.

In the Devices tab set the inactivity periods (representing minutes) and the time interval when the monitoring is active. If the current time is outside the time interval when the monitoring is active, no event will be triggered and no notification will be sent.

To disable monitoring that device, set the inactivity period to 0.

If Send notification is checked, the plugin will send a notification to the selected users.

Click Update after finishing.

After configuring the plugin, close the window and click SAVE to restart Luup.
