SOS Widget

Last updated 5 months ago

Was this helpful?

The SOS Widget is an interactive feature designed to display the status of alarm devices, particularly useful for devices like the IO Things IO Button. This widget provides a clear visual indicator when an SOS signal is received, and includes a unique interactive feature for managing the SOS state.

Key Features

  • Interactive Boolean Display: The SOS Widget functions similarly to a Boolean widget, displaying true or false states. However, it includes additional interactive capabilities.

  • SOS State Indicator: When a device sends a true value for the SOS field, the widget displays this as an active SOS state, alerting operators to an emergency.

  • Clear Button: Unique to the SOS Widget is the "Clear" button. This button allows operators to manually reset the SOS state. Upon clicking, the selected field's value is set to false, clearing the SOS alert on the widget.

Usage

  1. SOS Signal: When an SOS device, such as the IO Button, sends a true value indicating an SOS event, the SOS Widget will display this state on the dashboard.

  2. Resetting SOS State: To acknowledge and clear the SOS alert, an operator can click the "Clear" button on the widget. This action sends a false value to the field, resetting the SOS state displayed.

Application

The SOS Widget is ideal for monitoring emergency signals from devices that do not automatically reset their SOS status. It provides a reliable method for operators to manage and document the resolution of SOS events.
