The VapeAlert application allows users to see the status, data, and settings for vape detectors deployed
in the field. The Dashboard shows a summary view of the device status. The Readings page is an
overview of the current data view and historical data view. The Settings page allows users to modify
system parameters. The Dashboard and Readings pages updated as data changes on the sensors and
get relayed to the VapeAlert application. The Settings page changes how the device is configured.
The Dashboard page shows the status of the instrument. The four states are READY, STANDBY (STBY),
ALERT, ERROR. In the Ready State the system is ready to analyze the environment. In Standby the
system has finished analyzing the environment and is in sleep mode. An Alert state is displayed when
the system detects a tamper event or a vape event. An Error state describes a hardware failure in the
system. The Dashboard also shows the date and time and the battery charge of the system. Users can
view more details on the Alerts from the lower right corner tab. Each alert event is shown in
chronological order of the events.
The Readings Page can be selected by clicking on the main dashboard tile for the sensor of interest. The
Readings Page displays the data outputs from the sensors for a selected system. Users can also see
quickly if there is an Alert or the system has No Alert. Gauges are used as a tool to show each sensor
output while historical data can be viewed in graphs. The time range of the graphs can be selected to
see live data all the way up to 90 days past.
The Settings Page allows users to modify detection and warning parameters of the sensors. Users can
modify the detection thresholds and data transmission rates as well as the time zone of the system.
There is also a button to turn the audible buzzer on or off and a debug window for troubleshooting.
