I am using the SMS module in Ignition for sending alarms.

I found that you can acknowledge the alarms via SMS. However, I was wondering if there was a way to request alarms. An example would be to request unacknowledged alarms. WIN911 has this feature and I was wondering if the SMS module in Ignition does as well?

No it doesn’t have anything like that.

To get an idea of the current alarms on mobile the best thing would probably be a Perspective view with an Alarm Status Table, but that would require the gateway be reachable by the mobile device.
