Depending on the sensor type, all sensors periodically send data as part of the periodic heartbeat, typically around every 15 or 5 minutes, depending on the sensor type.
In addition, sensors and Cloud Connectors can trigger events immediately when their state changes. This could represent anything from touching a sensor to removing an Ethernet cable from a Cloud Connector.
New Beta feature in Studio!
All users can now change the configuration of the Heartbeat Interval directly from Studio on all sensor types. Note that it is not possible to configure them to lower than 15 minutes, except for new temperature sensors and CO2 sensors that can go down to 5 minutes.
