Notification Settings
Accessing Notification Settings from Account Settings
Open the Orb app
Go to Settings > Notifications
You'll see a list of notifications available for your account
- Allow Notifications: toggling this allows the device to receive notifications from your Orbs
- Orb list: all Orbs linked to your account appear below, specify which Orbs you would like to reeceive notifications from.
Note: receiving notifications from mobile devices may be too noisy as these Orbs will go online and offline frequently (when app closed or backgrounded). Exceptions include: using a spare phone as a dedicated sensor or using the "keep awake" feature.
Accessing Notification Settings from Orb Settings Menu
- Open the Orb app
- Go to Orb settings menu (...)
- Use the notification toggle to enable/disable notifications for that specific Orb

Troubleshooting

- Check that notifications are enabled in the Orb app
