Alarm Rule Conditions

Conditions determine when an Alarm will be opened based on the values and states of your Equipment. An Alarm will be triggered when all conditions and condition groups within your rule evaluate to be true

Combine conditions using visual building blocks to create simple comparisons or complex logic with nested conditions.

Value Comparison

A value comparison condition compares one value to another using an operator and will return a result of true or false.

• Constant Value - A number, text or boolean(true or false) value that does not change. This should be the same as the kind of Point you're comparing to.
• Primary Equipment - The Equipment that an Alarm Rule is applied to; selected during the Equipment selection Step of the Alarm Rule wizard.
• Remote Equipment - A specifically referenced piece of Equipment within your estate. Does not have to be part of the Equipment included in the rule.

Note: You should include at least one Point reference in a value comparison.

And/Or Logic

Allows you to create a condition based on the combined output of multiple expressions, for example comparing the output of one value comparison to another.

• And - The combined result of both the left and right hand set of expressions must resolve to true for the condition to be become true
• Or - If either of the left or right hand set of expressions resolves to true then the condition evaluates to true
• Or Else - Will resolve to true if either of the left or right hand set of expressions evaluates to true, but not both

Condition Group

A condition group allows you to group a number of conditions (including further condition groups) together enabling construction of complex rule logic.

For each group, use the "And | Or" toggle to determine under which condition the condition group will evaluate to true:

• And - All conditions within the group must resolve to true
• Or - Any of the conditions within the group can resolve to true
