When a "Generic event" is detected, it display text overlay. We want to keep displaying text overlay. Currently, the "Use custom text" upper limit is 30 seconds. How can I do keep displaying?

    Hi @...,

    Currently, you cannot extend it over 30 seconds.

    Can you please describe your use case, why do you want to keep the text indefinitely.
    Or should it disappear when a new event occurs?

    Perhaps we can suggest an alternative to achieve your goals.

    Hi Norman,

    The developed device is equipped with a digital input. We want to know what the state is now with a Text message, using the signal taken from the digital input monitor as a trigger.

    For example, do I have to cording a program that turns roles in python?

    Hi @...,

    If you use the supported Axis of Advantech ADAM IO devices, their state will be shown it you add them to the layout.

    Another option could be that to create a web based button panel, which shows the status of the input.

    Below an example of a button panel, created with NodeRed, but there are options as well to change the color to indicate the status as shown in THIS video.

    Another option could be the use of Soft Trigger icons and disabling / enabling rules in the rules engine.

    Let's say you use the Lock icon, closed lock is input enabled, open lock is input disabled.
    Although the use case is slightly different, THIS support article should be able to describe how to enable disable the rule.

    Basically, instead of enable/disable the recording, you enable or disable the soft trigger rule and do the opposite for the other icon. To give it an action, you could pick any that emphasizes the event for the operator, like Speak, Text Overlay, Desktop Notification (with or without Force Acknowledgement) or any other that suits the purpose.

    Below a screenshot, displaying both Soft Triggers, but when using the mentioned rules, only one will be displayed, depending on the state.

    Hi Norman,

    Thank you for quickly reply.

    I understood what you suggested. However, you gave proposal is not the ideal result for us.

    I will reconsider, including your suggestions.
