o
Once until alarm acknowledged and reactivated
: The actions will be performed
when the alarm is first activated, and will not be performed again until the alarm has
been acknowledged.
Note that the alarm must also go inactive and then active before the alarm actions
will occur again.
This can be used to limit how often the control activates.
See 5.10.7 - Alarm control activation and deactivation for an example.
o
On each log while alarm is active
: The actions will be performed whenever the
alarm's source channel is logged (or for a super alarm, whenever any of the inputs
which are monitored by the super alarm are logged), while the alarm is active. This
continues as long as the alarm remains active, regardless of whether it has been
acknowledged.
This can be used to continually perform an action while a condition remains true,
the rate being set by the source channel's logging period.
For example, a counter could be incremented every minute while a water level stays
above some threshold, and this counter could then trigger another alarm to send an
alert that the water level was high for too long.

Alarm Alerts
Each alarm also has a number of alerting options, when open when the checkbox in each is selected.
The alarm will then send the selected alert(s) when it triggers:
SMS Alerts
o
Phone numbers
: up to 3 phone numbers can be specified. Alerts will be sent to
these 3 phone numbers in the order listed. Only digits should be entered into this
field (so no spaces or brackets), and any unrequired phone number slots should be
left blank.
Email Alerts
o
Email addresses
: up to 3 email addresses can be specified. Alerts will be sent to
these 3 email addresses simultaneously. Any unrequired email address slots should
be left blank.
Twitter Alerts
o
Alerts will be tweeted to the Twitter account (configured in the
Change Twitter
Settings
page)
If an alert fails for any reason (low signal strength and network congestion are the two most
common causes), it will be retried. Each SMS number is retried 3 times at an interval of 1 minute
before moving to the next phone number in the list; email alerts are retried 3 times at an interval of
3 minutes; and twitter alerts are retried 3 times at an interval of 3 minutes.
