Yeah, you are confused. Humidity is an example.

Rather than alerts being created for 'sensors' they can now be created for 'temperature' or other sensor types directly.

Also, humidity is important in a data centre environment, and is monitored by a lot of environmental monitoring systems along with temperature.

Hi All,

We're bringing some changes soon to how entity types are used, especially in relation to groups and alerts.

We're turning each sensor type into its own entity type, so you can now create "Humidity" sensors :

People using alerting, is this as useful as I think it is?
