Hello,

I have configured alarms on boolean tags, but some days, it happens that some tags have several value change, and as it sends an email each time the tag becomes true, it can quickly become annoying. Do you know if there is a simple way to avoid this spamming ? Using deadband would be great if it wasn’t a boolean tag, but then I don’t know how to do.

Thank you,

Carla
