Hi Scott,
Yes the Alarm System in running quite well. We actually just caught a broken fire hydrant discharging upstream of one of our mayfly stations with it an hour ago. I’ll check out the repo to see if there’s anything that could benefit the alert system!
I have a paper that talks bout some of the anomaly detection methods I’ve been working on. A lot of the more advanced models are not production ready yet, but the Static Alerts and Moving Alerts are currently compatible with any sensor on Monitor My Water Shed. (Adding for new sensor types aside from the meter hydros 21 is still done manually on our end and requires a folks requesting it of us.) If there is a large demand my team and I could implement a better system.
Here is the mentioned paper on anomaly detection that showcases some of the tools developed which are compatible with Monitor My Water Shed. https://docs.google.com/document/d/19lZximOFQNkNM3NeaDezPdU-dYUKa0ThjdaF3tklkBs/edit?usp=sharing
