How to Configure Events on Triton ULTRA
Event Settings define the conditions that trigger alerts on your Triton ULTRA sensor — things like noise levels, air quality thresholds, vape detection, and more. The sensor uses "if this, then that" logic: Event Settings define the "if," and Action Settings define the "then." For a visual step-by-step walkthrough with screenshots, follow the Scribe guide linked below.

Important: Configuring an event only defines when it should trigger. To actually receive notifications (email, speaker, LED, etc.) when an event occurs, you also need to set up Action Settings. See our How to Configure Action Settings for Triton ULTRA guide.
How do I access Event Settings?
- Log in to the sensor's local web interface by entering its IP address in your browser.
- Click Events in the navigation menu.
- Click Event Settings.
You'll see a list of all available event types (Vape, Aggression, Smoking, Temperature, Humidity, etc.) with configurable fields for each.
What is the "Trigger Alarm" setting?
This determines when an alert should be triggered for each event type.
- For simple events like Vape or Keyword Detection, the trigger is usually set to "At Once" — meaning the alert fires immediately when the event is detected.
- For threshold-based events like Aggression or Smoking, the event must exceed a specific level before it triggers. For example, if the aggression threshold is set to 80, the system will trigger an alert when the detected noise level goes above 80 decibels.
What is the "Release Alarm" setting?
This defines the condition to clear or reset the alarm — think of it as a "recovery threshold." Once the measured value falls below this level, the system considers the event resolved and can send a "cleared" notification if configured.
This is useful for confirming that an intervention worked. For example, if a temperature alert triggers at 90°F and the release alarm is set to 80°F, you'll get a cleared alert once the temperature drops below 80°F — confirming that turning on the A/C resolved the issue.
What is the "Alarm Interval" setting?
This controls how often alerts can repeat while an event is still active. The default is typically 300 seconds (5 minutes). If the event is still above the trigger threshold after this interval, the sensor will send another alert. Lowering the interval gives you more frequent notifications; raising it reduces alert frequency.
How do I use the Advanced settings?
Click Advanced on any event to access additional options:
- Time-of-day filters: Control which days of the week and times of day you want to receive alerts for that specific event. This is useful for suppressing alerts outside of operating hours.
- Duration-based triggers: For events like Aggression, you can specify how long the measured value must stay above the threshold before an alert fires. This helps reduce false positives from brief loud noises like a door slamming.
How do I save my changes?
After adjusting settings for an individual event, click Save on that event. When you're done configuring all events, click Save All to apply everything.
Where can I fine-tune additional settings?
For more granular adjustments — including Bluetooth, keyword detection sensitivity, tamper sensitivity, and noise reduction — go to Device Settings → Config. These global settings work alongside Event Settings to control how the sensor behaves.
