Changing Sensor State via Trigger

Votes:

0

Is it possible to change a sensor state (e.g. from normal to alarm) when via a trigger? I have UPS here that reports it's alarm via a SNMP sensor (from a MIB library) and even though the sensor is reporting an alarm or multiple alarm, the status of the sensor is still normal.

Is there a way to say perhaps "if result is above 0 then trigger alarm" or change sensor state to alarm?

Hi,
please use the Channel Limits in the Sensor Channel Settings to set up limits which will then cause the sensor to switch state.
Best regards
