Avoid alert fatigue
Repeated low-value notifications train people to ignore important ones.
Make the next action clear
The best alert says what changed and where without pretending to diagnose the cause.
Keep in mind. Compatibility is not permanent. Confirm the current manufacturer, platform and certification information before purchasing, resetting or migrating a device.
