There are several alerts you can choose to receive pertaining to your dog's account. Escape, Lost Dog, Safe Zone and Battery alerts are all created with your dog's safety in mind. Walk and Goal Streak alerts are to keep you up to date with your dog's activities. Below shows a breakdown of each type of alert.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Escape Alerts ๐ ๐จ - You will receive an escape alert when your dog has wandered outside a Safe Zone without an owner. In an ideal world, we would like to know the second our best friend is out of a Safe Zone - and we do our best to achieve just that.
Fi will try to obtain GPS confirmation that your dog has escaped, before sending you a notification. Notifications for escape alerts are sent after two confirmed GPS reports outside of a Safe Zone. The fastest alert possible is 2 minutes, but it may take 2-5 minutes to get an alert depending on the GPS/LTE coverage in your area. See: Testing GPS/LTE & Testing Lost Dog Mode to best understand performance.
- List of escape alerts you may receive:
-
- Your pet's name just left safe zone name - This notifications means two GPS location reports have confirmed your dog is outside the safe zone without an owner. You may want to toggle on Lost Dog Mode to locate your dog.
- Your pet's name is around location without an owner - This notification means your dog's collar has disconnected from the Bluetooth range when previously connected to an owner's phone, while the pet is not at a safe zone. The address provided will be the location of your dog provided by GPS.
- Your pet's name is not near an owner - This notification means your dog's collar has disconnected from the Bluetooth range when previously connected to an owner's phone, while the pet is not at a safe zone. If your dog is in a location where an address cannot be obtained, you will see this message and can tap the Fi App to obtain the latitude and longitude coordinates of your dog's location.
- Your pet's name is around Address - This notification means your dog's location has been confirmed as outside of a safe zone, with out an owner yet no exit notification was previously sent. You may want to turn on Lost Dog Mode to locate your dog.
