LimitMode not getting set on first channel read

Votes:

0

I have a channel which should have a error and warning limit. To activate this, I have to send all the necessary information with the first data notification.

This is how my data JSON looks like: [{ "sensorid": "2276", "message": "This is a measurement", "channel": [{ "name": "MeasureCount", "mode": "integer", "unit": "Custom", "customunit": "MeasureCount", "value": 2, "LimitMode":1, "LimitMaxWarning":13, "LimitMinWarning":0, "LimitMaxError":25, "LimitMinError":-10, "LimitErrorMsg":"This is an error", "LimitErrorWarning":"Warning" } ] } ]

According the mini probe api documentation, this should activate the limit mode for this channel on the first notification. I do receive the value I my channel, but the LimitMode is not getting turned on nor the limit min and max settings are getting set. Why could this be? I couldn't find any other information why this would not work like that.

Thanks for your help

Limits given via result are only applied upon sensor creation, not during runtime.
Where did you get the information (so we can fix it)? :)
