Apex warnings, alarm disappeared

[pirarucu]

Hello,

I have my base email alarm (EmailAlm_I5) working, but find it annoying when it starts sending notification and text messages to my phone. As such, I am trying to enable warnings and alarms to see how those work out. The default base_Alarm (SndAlm_I6)and base_warn (SndWrn_I7) do sho in my list of outputs, but I cannot find the tiles to put them in dashboard of Fusion. What I am missing?

Thanks!

If you own a Display module, then you will be able to use the SndAlm and SndWrn outputs. But without the Display module which contains a small speaker, they serve no function and the tiles will not show up.

See my tutorial on Apex Alarm Programming to fine-tune your alarms so you don't get inundated with false alarms: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptune-apex-programming-tutorials-part-6-alarms.707/

Also, if you have a Display module and program the two audible alarms, it's a good idea to also connect a loud piezo buzzer like this one to one of the Apex 24VDC outputs, and then program that to follow one or both of the alarm tiles. The built-in speaker is not very loud, and most people won't hear it a couple of rooms over, or if asleep. Code to do this is simple, for example:

OSC 000:00/000:02/000:02 Then ON
If Output DisplayAlarm = OFF Then OFF

That makes sense; I do not have a display. I'll look into this tutorial on setting the alarms SuncrestReef. Thanks much!
