Hi,

I’m interested in reading out the result of an alarm property bound to an expression.

I know I can use system.tag.getConfiguration() to get a tags configuration including its alarm settings.

The problem is that if in my case the ‘enabled’ property of the alarm is an expression then all I get from system.tag.getConfiguration() is the expression itself.

What I need is the result/evaluation of the expression.

Same goes for the alarm priority property.

Thanks
