Effortless protection with Tector’s alerts
Moisture-related risks don’t have to keep you up at night. Tector’s Alert System provides real-time insights and instant notifications to help you stay on top of moisture levels in your building. It’s simple, proactive, and designed to protect your projects—so you can focus on what matters most.
Three alert types, total coverage
Just like we run a multi-layered data analysis on moisture measurements, we also have multiple alarm types to ensure we cover all potential issues with built in redundancy.
Threshold alerts can be configured by the user based on conditional based logic: big increases in moisture, humidity above a certain value, when conditions for mold growth are in place, etc.
We have certain alerts enabled by default, but can customise it exactly to your project's needs. You might want to get an alert when timber is dried down to acceptable levels or get notifications if humidity levels rapidly increase in certain sensitive areas.
On the image you can see an example of how the alert notifications look in the platform.
The reference alerts are sent out based on the theoretical measurements the sensors should not exceed in the given area.
For example, if the sensor is placed on timber frame wall, the critical levels are different to that of a crawl space or a ventilated roof space.
On the image you can see how the reference level is shown in our graphs based on the tags provided when installing the sensor for easier explanation of when it gets critical.
Buildings are complicated places and only having alerts that go off when measurements cross a certain level will not detect all issues, which is why we take a more holistic approach with our intelligent alerts.
Intelligent alert notifies you when values are abnormal compared to local weather, location, historic data & seasonality.
On the image (top) you can see a sneak peak on how our algorithms are continuously analysing changes in transmissions, and how that is converted into a risk score (bottom) that we display on the platform and use to send out alerts.
Alert system built for professionals who value reliability
Tector’s Alert System is designed for building professionals who need fast, reliable, and actionable data without unnecessary complexity. Whether you’re managing flat roofs, mass timber, or mixed materials, our solution gives you the tools to:
- Monitor moisture: Accurate, real-time readings for wood and flat roofs.
- Act fast: Instant alerts help you address issues before they escalate.
- Protect investments: Prevent costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your projects.
Water ingress alerts
Flat roofs are notorious for water ingress, but the real question is: when does it become critical?
Tector answers with clarity. Our sensors provide round-the-clock monitoring, capturing data on moisture levels inside your roof’s structure.
Should the conditions reach critical levels, you’ll be the first to know—so you can make informed decisions before small issues turn into major headaches.
- Why is the water ingress alert reliable?
- Our system ensures you only receive alerts that matter—no false alarms, no unnecessary stress.
-
- Seasonality: The system recognises natural variations, like harmless summer condensation, so you’re not alerted over minor changes.
- Local environment: We factor in the specific conditions of your roof, ensuring alerts are relevant to your structure and environment.
Wood moisture content alerts
Tector makes wood moisture monitoring easy. With sensors calibrated to specific tree species, you’ll get precise data tailored to your materials, factoring in:
- Environmental Conditions: From temperature to humidity, every detail counts.
- Species-Specific Calibration: We fine-tuned our sensors for Douglas fir, Pine, Spruce, Oak, Chestnut, Poplar, Plywood, and even custom species to ensure accuracy.

FAQs
What type of moisture alerts exist?
Our alert system is flexible and can be tailored to your specific needs. On the platform we distinguish between:
- Built-in alerts
- Custom alerts
Built-in alerts are alerts we have defined in advance, which by default are activated for any sensor after being set up, unless anything else has been agreed upon. These alert include:
- Alert regarding missing values: When the sensor hasn't sent the expected measurements for 48 hours, 1 week, and 4 weeks, respectively.
- Alert regarding big increase in moisture: When two subsequent moisture measurements show an increase in wood moisture by more than 5%.
- Alert regarding moisture content above reference values: When the median of the last week of moisture readings is above a reference value. A reference value is the expected moisture content of a sensor given its placement.
Custom Alerts
Custom alerts can be tailored to most scenarios by defining a set of alert criteria, all of which must be met before an alert is sent. An alert criterion is defined as in the image below by choosing a parameter, an operator and a value.
All alert can be activated or deactivated at any time for each individual sensor.
What is an intelligent moisture alert?
A moisture alert is a notification from Tector, that is sent to you by email depending on your preferences, and is related to a given moisture sensor.
The notification is sent if our alarm system has detected any irregularities, which should be looked into. The notification always contains a description of the given situation hence indicating what the situation looks like.
