How to Set Up Alerts and Notifications for Your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer
With the Smart Life app, you can set up notifications for your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer so that you get real-time alerts about its status and performance. This guide will help you configure alerts to keep you updated on important events, like when the airer is turned on or off, when a schedule is activated, or if there’s a connection issue.
Step 1: Open the Smart Life App
- Make sure your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer is connected to the Smart Life app and working properly.
- Open the Smart Life app on your smartphone.
- On the home screen, locate and tap on your Smart Clothes Airer from the list of connected devices.
Step 2: Access Device Settings
- In the airer’s control panel, tap on the three dots (···) or Settings icon in the upper-right corner to access more options.
- Scroll down to find the Notification Settings or Alert Settings option (the exact name may vary depending on your app version).
Step 3: Enable Notifications
- Tap on Notification Settings to access the available options for alerts.
- You will see different types of alerts that you can enable:
- Power On/Off Alerts: Get notified whenever the airer is turned on or off, either manually or via a schedule.
- Scheduled Event Alerts: Receive notifications when a scheduled task starts or completes.
- Error Alerts: These will inform you of any connectivity issues or device malfunctions.
- Toggle on the alerts you’d like to receive by tapping the switch next to each notification type.
Step 4: Customise Notification Preferences
- You can customise how often and when you receive notifications by adjusting your app’s notification preferences.
- In the Notification Settings menu, some options may allow you to choose whether to receive notifications as push alerts on your phone, email alerts, or both.
- Push Notifications: Enable this to get instant alerts directly on your phone’s home screen.
- Email Notifications: For longer-term tracking, you may want to receive notifications via email, so you always have a log of airer activity.
Step 5: Test the Notifications
- To ensure everything is working correctly, turn the airer on and off through the Smart Life app or manually by pressing the airer’s button.
- You should receive a notification based on the settings you’ve enabled, confirming that the alerts are functioning properly.
Types of Alerts You Can Set Up
Here are the most common types of notifications that you can enable for your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer:
1. Power On/Off Alerts
- When it’s useful: You want to know whenever the airer is turned on or off. This is particularly helpful if multiple people in your home are controlling the device, or if you’re managing it remotely.
- How to set it up: Enable the Power On/Off notification toggle in the settings.
2. Scheduled Task Alerts
- When it’s useful: If you’ve scheduled your airer to run at specific times (e.g., during off-peak hours), receiving an alert when the schedule starts or completes will help you keep track of the device’s activity.
- How to set it up: Turn on Scheduled Task Alerts to receive updates when the airer follows your programmed schedule.
3. Error or Disconnection Alerts
- When it’s useful: If your Wi-Fi network goes down, the airer disconnects, or there’s a technical issue, you’ll be instantly notified, allowing you to troubleshoot and fix the issue before it disrupts your drying routine.
- How to set it up: Toggle on Error Alerts in the notifications menu to stay informed about any issues.
Managing Notifications in the Smart Life App
- If you ever want to change or reduce the number of notifications, go back into the Notification Settings and toggle off any notifications that you no longer need.
- If notifications aren’t working as expected, make sure that the Smart Life app has permission to send notifications on your phone:
- For iOS: Go to Settings > Notifications on your phone, find the Smart Life app, and ensure notifications are enabled.
- For Android: Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications, find the Smart Life app, and enable notifications.
Troubleshooting Notification Issues
- Not Receiving Notifications: Ensure your phone has a stable internet connection, as the Smart Life app relies on it to send real-time alerts.
- App Permissions: Double-check that the app has the proper notification permissions on your phone.
- Update the App: If notifications aren’t working, check for updates to the Smart Life app in the App Store or Google Play Store. An outdated app can sometimes cause issues with alerts.
- Reconnect the Airer: If the app isn’t communicating with the airer, you might need to reset the airer and reconnect it to the app.

Now that you’ve set up notifications for your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer, you’ll stay informed about its operation no matter where you are. Whether you want alerts when the airer turns on, follows a schedule, or encounters an issue, the Smart Life app keeps you connected.
