> Update: You can get the alarm default values using: from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.alarming.config import CommonAlarmProperties, AlarmModeProperties properties = {} properties.update(dict((s.getName(), s.getDefaultValue()) for s in CommonAlarmProperties.values())) properties.update(dict((s.getName(), s.getDefaultValue()) for s in AlarmModeProperties.values()))
