Never Miss a Beat: Real-Time Hotspot Monitoring for Premium Users

Real-Time Hotspot Monitoring

Running Helium hotspots successfully means staying on top of dozens of moving parts - from radio health and network connectivity to reward earnings and compliance requirements. But manually checking each gateway's status throughout the day isn't practical when you're managing multiple deployments. That's where HeliumGeek's ActivityMonitor steps in.

Instant Awareness Through Smart Notifications

ActivityMonitor is our real-time alerting system that sends push notifications directly to your mobile device the moment something changes with your hotspots. Whether it's a radio going offline, a speedtest completing, or rewards hitting your wallet, you'll know instantly.

Unlike traditional monitoring that requires you to check dashboards, ActivityMonitor brings the information to you. It's the difference between reactive troubleshooting and proactive fleet management.

What Gets Monitored

5G/Mobile Hotspot Health

  • Heartbeat Activity: Alerts when radios stop reporting or resume activity
  • Speedtest Monitoring: Notifications about backhaul test status and performance metrics
  • Data Usage Monitoring: Custom thresholds to ensure WiFi hotspots meet data requirements
  • HIP Compliance: Alerts for boosting threshold validation or invalidation
  • Reward Multipliers: Changes in speedtest-based reward calculations

IoT Network Performance

  • Beacon Transmission: Immediate alerts when beacons stop or resume
  • Witness Activity: Notifications for witness report participation
  • Hex Scale Changes: Updates when reward scaling factors change in your coverage area

Earnings Tracking

  • Mobile Rewards: Real-time notifications when PoC or data transfer rewards arrive
  • IoT Rewards: Instant alerts for beaconing, witnessing, and data transfer earnings
  • Network Rankings: See how your hotspots rank against the network during reward periods

Smart State Tracking

The system remembers the last known state of each hotspot and radio, so you only get notified when something actually changes. No spam notifications about the same ongoing issue - just clean, actionable alerts when your attention is needed.

Customizable Monitoring

Premium users can configure monitoring preferences for each hotspot:

  • Health Monitoring: Enable/disable operational alerts
  • Reward Alerts: Choose whether to receive earnings notifications
  • Data Thresholds: Set custom data usage requirements for WiFi hotspots
  • Alert Frequency: The system automatically optimizes notification timing to prevent overload

Different Alerts for Different Situations

Critical Issues (🔴): Problems that could impact earnings - offline radios, failed compliance, missing activity

Success Notifications (🟢): Positive updates - tests completed, rewards earned, issues resolved

Performance Changes (🔺🔻): Multiplier adjustments, hex scale modifications, ranking updates

Earnings (💰): Token rewards with custom sound effects and detailed breakdowns

The Premium Advantage

While our web platform provides detailed analytics and our Pro tier offers daily email reports, Premium users get the fastest possible response time through instant push notifications. This real-time approach is perfect for:

  • Active Operators who want to address issues immediately
  • Performance Optimizers tracking minute-to-minute changes
  • New Deployments where early detection of problems is critical
  • High-Value Locations where downtime directly impacts significant earnings

Beyond Basic Monitoring

ActivityMonitor doesn't just tell you when something breaks - it provides context. Speedtest notifications include actual performance numbers. Reward alerts show your network ranking. Coverage alerts explain which specific radio needs attention.

The system integrates directly with the HeliumGeek mobile app, so tapping a notification takes you straight to the relevant hotspot details for immediate troubleshooting.

Real-Time Response, Real Results

The difference between catching an issue in 10 minutes versus 10 hours can mean the difference between minimal and significant reward loss. Premium users consistently report that ActivityMonitor pays for itself by helping them maintain higher uptime and catch optimization opportunities faster than manual monitoring.

Whether you're running a single high-performance deployment or managing a distributed fleet, staying connected to your hotspots' real-time status gives you the edge that separates successful operators from those constantly playing catch-up.

Ready for instant hotspot intelligence? HeliumGeek Premium brings real-time monitoring to your mobile device with smart notifications that keep you ahead of issues before they impact your earnings.
