Response Structure

• (dict) --

  • alarm (dict) --

    Contains information about an alarm.

    • alarmModelName (string) --

      The value of the key used as a filter to select only the alarms associated with the key.

    • alarmState (dict) --

      Contains information about the current state of the alarm.

      • stateName (string) --

        The name of the alarm state. The state name can be one of the following values:

        • NORMAL - When the alarm is in the NORMAL state, it's ready to evaluate data.
        • ACTIVE - If the alarm is in the ACTIVE state, the alarm is invoked.
        • ACKNOWLEDGED - When the alarm is in the ACKNOWLEDGED state, the alarm was invoked and you acknowledged the alarm.
        • SNOOZE_DISABLED - When the alarm is in the SNOOZE_DISABLED state, the alarm is disabled for a specified period of time. After the snooze time, the alarm automatically changes to the NORMAL state.
        • LATCHED - When the alarm is in the LATCHED state, the alarm was invoked. However, the data that the alarm is currently evaluating is within the specified range. To change the alarm to the NORMAL state, you must acknowledge the alarm.

        Contains information about the action that you can take to respond to the alarm.

        • actionName (string) --

          The name of the action. The action name can be one of the following values:
