  While you're at it, please include a "rechargeable batteries" option. As it is, they trigger a battery low alarm within days of being installed, but then keep on working until they die, and Twine with them, without notice.

  It's set to send the email when the voltage dips below 2.3V for more than a minute. 

  
  

  If the voltage has popped back up to 2.6, you should be fine not replacing the batteries for a while.

  Seconded. Let me choose how Twine alerts me. SMS, email, LED, HTTP request, etc.

  Please add battery status to the control panel. That way we can log on to see how our Twines are doing before we take off for a vacation.

  Rules are retained while swapping batteries.
  
  You can see the battery voltage at the bottom of the Twine's dashboard. Right now, you'll get an email when it drops below 2.4V, which should give you a few days notice. We're still working on an accurate model of how the batteries discharge over time which will let us do a friendlier representation of battery life.

  I see this is from december. Is 2.4 still the magic level? I sometimes get an alert when the load is at 2.6v
