Hello,  
Please understand that if IBS-TH1/ IBS-TH2 PLUS is connected via Bluetooth, Engbird app/ INKBIRD app notifications will only appear when the app is running in the foreground.  
Please refer to:

> [@Q&A: No notification when Engbird is running in the background](https://community.inkbird.com/t/q-a-no-notification-when-engbird-is-running-in-the-background/296):
>
> This is normal. Engbird compatible sensors are: IBS-TH1 mini, IBS-TH1, IBS-TH1 PLUS, IBS-TH2, IBS-TH2 PLUS, IBS-P01B, ITH-12S. Due to the limitation of mobile phone permissions, Engbird cannot obtain Bluetooth information in the background/screen-off state. It requires a sensor to be connected within Bluetooth range to get real-time readings. Therefore, only the Engbird app is running in the foreground and connected to the sensor, the alert notification will be triggered if the reading exceed…

Maybe you can use it with IBS-M2 gateway?  
IBS-TH1/ IBS-TH2 PLUS can connect to the IBS-M2 gateway via Bluetooth, and IBS-M2 can connect to the INKBIRD app via 2.4GHz wifi. When the app is running in the background/the phone is locked, a notification will be pushed if an alarm is triggered.
