    Can someone of our guru members post an example of how we can use the Alarm page in Piced?

    I have a oil float level switch for checking the low level of the diesel tank. The level switch is a NO contact that I have connected to a bus coupler channel.

    What I would like to do is when the level switch is activated, the touch screen (a Mark II no logic) should display the Alarm page where a button will show that the diesel level is too low. A second (?) button will snooze the alarm for a certain period of time.

    Thank you in advance.

    In this project I want to get an Alarm in the touch screen when the CO sensor signals for alarm CO level. A bus coupler will be activated and the "CO alarm" group address will be turned on.
    The steps I followed:
    1. In project details I setup that "Alarm page" is the alarm page in this project
    2. I designed a simple Alarm page
    3. I set up the button "Alarm CO Garage" as shown in the other 3 pictures.

    Will this work? Should I create a new button as snooze "Alarm CO garage"?

    This may not do exactly what you want, but it is close.

    Note that a button will only be activated by remote control if the page it is on is visible.

    I would create the project like this:
    1. Create a template page with a button on it like the one you have created:
    - activated by C-Bus "remote control"
    - using the Alarm On Special Function
    - make it invisible so you don't see it on every page
    - make it very small and put it near the edge of the screen so that it doesn't get clicked accidentally
    2. Use the above template page for every page in the project
    3. On the "alarm page" have two buttons:
    - one to cancel alarm
    - one to "sleep" the alarm

    If you want to have the alarm automatically cancelled if the CO sensor switches off again, add a second button to the template page which is also remote controlled but at 0% and which switches the alarm off.
