Notifications
Grid Getter sends notifications when important things happen — an automation fires, a DemandGuard event occurs, your data export is ready, or your battery drops low. You control exactly which notifications you receive and how.
Notification channels
Section titled “Notification channels”Grid Getter supports three notification channels:
| Channel | How it works |
|---|---|
| Push notifications | Delivered to your phone or tablet via the Grid Getter mobile app |
| Sent to your account email address | |
| In-app | Visible in the notification bell (🔔) in the top navigation bar |
In-app notifications are always on. Push and email can be configured per your preference.
Managing notification settings
Section titled “Managing notification settings”Go to Settings → Notifications to configure your preferences.
Device management
Section titled “Device management”If you use Grid Getter on multiple devices, you’ll see each registered device listed. You can:
- Enable or disable push notifications per device
- Use Save to All Devices to apply the same settings across all your devices
Notification types
Section titled “Notification types”You can toggle individual notification categories on or off:
Notification Preferences
- App alerts — general in-app alerts
- Automation executed — when an automation runs
- DemandGuard events — when DemandGuard switches modes during a demand period
- Energy changes — when your energy source switches
Battery Notifications
- Battery Threshold Alerts — when Battery Threshold automation starts or completes a charge cycle
- Battery Percentage Alerts — when your battery reaches specific charge percentages you configure (e.g., drops to 20% or charges to 90%)
- Battery Anomaly Alerts — when your battery charge deviates significantly from your historical patterns (Premium)
Premium Battery Threshold Alerts and Battery Anomaly Alerts require a Premium subscription.
In-app notification center
Section titled “In-app notification center”The bell icon (🔔) in the top navigation bar shows your recent notifications. A red badge appears when you have unread notifications.
Click the bell to open the notification panel, which shows:
- The notification message
- The time it was received
- A link to the relevant page in the app (e.g., “View Automation Log”)
Notifications are marked as read when you view them.
Push notification setup
Section titled “Push notification setup”To receive push notifications, you need to:
- Install the Grid Getter app on your mobile device (iOS or Android)
- Grant notification permissions when prompted
- Make sure your device appears in Settings → Notifications
When push alerts stop working
Section titled “When push alerts stop working”If Grid Getter can’t deliver a push notification to your device — because your device token expired, you switched phones, or the app hasn’t been opened in a while — it removes the stale token and sends you an email.
The email subject is “Push alerts need attention.” It means Grid Getter tried to notify you but couldn’t reach your device. Opening the Grid Getter app re-registers it automatically. No settings need to change.
