Alert Pin – Humidity and Temperature Threshold Detection

The Alert pin can also be configured to send a signal when a humidity / temperature threshold is exceeded, and

the system needs to take action. In this mode, the Alert feature has a programmable threshold, polarity, and

hysteresis, and can apply to both temperature and humidity measurements. An example of the functionality of

the Alert feature can be seen in Error! Reference source not found..
