How to Add Emergency Temperature Thresholds
This guide explains how to set emergency temperature thresholds in your Latchel account. These thresholds help ensure that temperature-related issues—like heating or cooling failures—are treated as emergencies when conditions fall outside of safe limits for residents.
4 Temperature Settings
A. Standard Settings (Healthy Individuals)
- Low Temperature
- This is the lowest temperature before you consider heating issues an emergency (Latchel Default: 45°F)
- High Temperature
- The highest temperature before you consider air conditioning issues an emergency (Latchel Default: 95°F)
B. Infants, Elderly, Disabled Settings
- Low Temperature
- This is the lowest temperature before you consider heating issues an emergency (Latchel Default: 55°F)
- High Temperature
- The highest temperature before you consider air conditioning issues an emergency (Latchel Default: 85°F)
The local temperature shows up on the job page in Latchel. If there is a day in the week that will meet an emergency threshold, we show the thresholds and highlight the day in the red.
Updating Your Temperature Thresholds
Click on your initials or profile picture in the upper right-hand corner of the dashboard, and select Account Settings.
On the far lefthand side of the portal, expand the modal titled Emergency Temperature Settings. From here, you can modify/add the temperatures.
