Prerequisites: ZigBee sensor reachable via MQTT (default
localhost:1883). On-prem Studio or runtime agent.
Build a basic sensor monitoring workflow from template #2: read a ZigBee temperature sensor, check a threshold, and send a notification when exceeded.
What this template does
- Read Sensor — ZigBee via MQTT bridge.
- Threshold Check — temperature > 30°C.
- Send Alert — in-app/email notification.
Step 1 — Load the template
- Studio → Templates → search
Sensor Threshold Alert. - Load template #2.
Step 2 — Sensor binding
- Set MQTT host/port and Device name to match your ZigBee gateway.
- Adjust Value field if your payload uses a different key than
temperature.
Step 3 — Threshold
- Open Threshold Check and set operator and limit for your environment.
- Add a Cron Schedule upstream for periodic polling if the template runs on demand only.
Step 4 — Run on-prem
- Activate on an on-prem host on the same network as the sensor gateway.
- Confirm alerts in Jobs → History.
