Faulty Fing Alerts

Hi @Ufudu
Can you check the State change alerts timing you have set on your Fing app?
The reason you may be experiencing this issue in relation to alerts for specific device, is that you might have changed the state change alert from default value to a different value. The usual default value is 20 minutes. Sometimes, when the device is not in use, it may go to sleep mode and then if the state change is set to the lowest value of 1 or 2 minutes, it can be recorded as offline or out of range. So, when it returns back from the sleep mode, it will be marked as 'Online' and thus providing you with an alert. If the state change alert value is set to more than 20 minutes, then until that time period is finished, that device will still be marked 'Online' and only after that time period it will be recorded as 'Offline', thus providing you with an alert.In order to change the alert settings, please click on the device from the device list and then scroll down to 'State Change Timeout(auto)' . You can then set the value to at least 20 minutes or if you don't want the alert for this device then you can turn off the alert for that device

Thank you for coming back to me.
The device state change timeout was set for 5 mins, I've changed it to 20.
Its not clear to me why I would he receiving a timeout announcing a timeout in the future and that it was discovered in the future while the device continued to function online.
Regards
Mike
