Alarm went off and no reason

[rldcpa]

I setup the warning and the email alerts yesterday. I did not set the Alarm-it is off.

this is the setting for both warning and email and I put them on auto

Set OFF
If Temp > 80.0 Then ON
If Temp < 75.0 Then ON
If Power EB8_3 Off 000 Then ON

Why did the alarm go off today when temp was ok and power did not go off?

Also, I could not shut it off from the network, but when a button on the display was touched the alarm turned off.

It's possible that the Temp momentarily got high enough to trip the alarm. The graph default is ten minute intervals, so it may not have recorded it. It is a good idea to add a short delay to prevent false alarms. Add the following at the end of the code:

Defer 00:30 Then ON

This will require that any condition that would turn the outlet ON must be True for at least 30 seconds before the outlet is allowed to change.

I am not sure about the other issue you are having. Can you control other outlets remotely?

I added the defer command.

The only issue was that I was unable to stop the alarm remotely or via home network.

My son finally went to pick up the display and hit a button accidently and it stopped.

Doesn't the alarm stop once the alarm is resolved? Or does it stay on until you physically touch a button on the display?

I read the log and saw that there was a power failure and that caused the alarm. It lasted 2 monutes.

However, our power never went out so is it that the outlet lost its connection for 2 minutes?
