Automated environmental sensor alerts (temperature, humidity, etc.)

Purpose

1.1 Automate real-time monitoring of environmental sensor data (temperature, humidity, etc.) in national parks for early wildlife risk detection.
1.2 Enables automatedly triggering of alerts to rangers or researchers when environmental parameters breach set safety thresholds.
1.3 Supports automating compliance reporting for protected area management and facilitates rapid incident response for conservation.
1.4 Integrates automation of data-driven decision making for ecological balance and visitor safety.

Trigger Conditions

2.1 Automated alert when temperature/humidity sensors report values outside predefined safe limits.
2.2 Automate multi-sensor thresholds for fire, flood, or drought early warnings.
2.3 Automatedly triggered by sensor malfunctions or data gaps detected during regular polling.
2.4 Automates escalation if hazardous conditions persist beyond a preset duration.
