Vantage Infusion (Driver)

This guide explains how to configure the AlertFleet integration for a Vantage Infusion controller.

Requirements​

To integrate Vantage Controls with AlertFleet, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

  1. An AlertFleet subscription plan with the API Source feature enabled
  2. Vantage Infusion Controller
  3. Internet Connectivity: The Vantage Infusion controller must be connected to the internet. Make sure the IP gateway and DNS settings are correctly configured.
No Full Program Required

In most cases, the AlertFleet driver only requires a simple Update of the Vantage system to start working.
A full Program is usually NOT necessary, unless you have also made structural changes to the project.
This design significantly reduces deployment time, making the driver quick and easy to integrate in existing projects.

Option 1 - From SNAPIN files:

  1. Download the right snapin files from the table above.
  2. Paste the .snapin.xml files into your ObjectRepository folder, for example:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Vantage\InFusion Design Center 3.9.2\ObjectRepository
  3. Open the Design Center
  4. On the left side, select Drivers
  5. At the top, select "All Drivers" (yellow gear icon)
  6. Select the AlertFleet driver into the Lifetronic folder, and drag and drop it into the Area View

Option 2 - From Online Drivers:

Usage Tips​

When designing your alerting strategy, keep in mind that each driver instance defines its own group of recipients.
This allows you to configure multiple driver instances in the same project, each representing a specific "audience" or operational group.

For example, in a luxury residence or villa, you might want to separate alerts according to the type of intervention required:

  • Electrical technicians → receive SMS/WhatsApp messages in case of power failures, lighting control issues, or generator alarms.
  • HVAC & climate control specialists → notified via email if the heating, cooling, or ventilation systems report anomalies.
  • Security staff → receive immediate SMS/WhatsApp alerts when intrusion or access control alarms are triggered.
  • Homeowners / property managers → notified with higher-level summaries (e.g., via email) for incidents that require awareness but not urgent technical intervention.
  • IT / network administrators → receive webhook calls for integration with monitoring dashboards when internet connectivity or automation servers report downtime.
Example

You can create different driver instances such as:

  • Driver Instance - Electricians

    • SMS Recipients: +393331111111 (John Smith)
    • WhatsApp Recipients: +393332222222 (David Johnson)

  • Driver Instance - HVAC

    • Email Recipients: hvac-support@climatepro.com (ClimatePro Team)

  • Driver Instance - Security

    • SMS Recipients: +393333333333 (Guard 1)
    • WhatsApp Recipients: +393334444444 (Guard 2)

  • Driver Instance - Homeowners

    • Email Recipients: owner@luxvilla.com (Mr. Smith)
    • Email Recipients: assistant@luxvilla.com (Personal Assistant)

  • Driver Instance - IT

    • Webhook Recipients:
      • Method: POST
      • URL: https://monitoring.luxvilla.com/alerts

By structuring your recipients this way, you ensure that the right people are informed promptly, while avoiding unnecessary notifications to others. This improves efficiency, reduces noise, and guarantees faster response times when critical events occur.
