Unknown location

Unknown location triggers when a tag has been at an unregistered location, outside all known zones, for a specified duration.

How it works

The system checks whether a tag is inside any registered zone (network or coordinate) for the workspace. If the tag is outside all of them for longer than the threshold, the rule triggers. The alert clears when the tag enters any known location.

This catches equipment left at unregistered customer sites, tags that have been moved to unexpected locations, or assets that may have been stolen.

Parameters

alert_after_seconds integer No 3600 Time at unknown location before triggering (default: 1 hour)
