Alarms & Events

Alarms and events are used to make the users aware of different events that require some action. An alarm or event is triggered when a certain condition is met. An alarm / event condition is designed as a logical evaluation of a tag value.

Note! All changes to alarms / events must be sent to the gateway to take affect.
