Hello! I'd like to setup a digital alarm or status for ANY active alarms that are unacknowledged, and not shelved, that have been active and unacknowledged for 5 minutes or more.
Any direction would be appreciated!
Check out the Alarm List tag.
My solution to this will be the topic of our next Automation Village episode which you can check out here on July 6: https://youtu.be/8LKAKjEFWds

@ArghDave thank you for that answer! Very helpful and got me what I needed. Now to add on to that, question. Is there a way to run a report on historical alarms that were unacknowledged for more than 5 minutes?
To the best of my knowledge, you'd have to export the alarms and events data and then do some post processing on the times though I am not actually sure you will have all the info you need.
As a note, you can do this ad hoc by creating a filtered list of the alarm events you want to look at and then use CTRL+C and CTRL+V to copy and paste those events into excel or similar. This should get you started, once you have that, I believe that you can use ODBC or REST to create queries for the alarm events and process the timestamps from there.... Though no promises as I haven't actually done this.
