[MariuszW]

Hello,

• Do you know if WebIQ supports Alarms objects from OPC UA?
• If yes, how to connect it ?
• I want to connect WebIQ and IndraMotion MTX system via OPC.
• Smaple screenshot from UA Test Client connected with MTX and with subcribed alarms item.

WebIQ currently does not provide built-in support for OPC-UA alarms. You can however use the built-in alarm management to observe item changes and raise alarms.

Thank you for answer.

Do you know if it is planned? If yes, do we have some date of release?

Do you see any chace to create maybe custom widget or any other possibility to realize this function?

You cannot do something like this with a custom widget because widgets only exist in the browser (frontend) and uses HTML, CSS and JavaScript. 

This functionality however would have to be implemented in the server backend (WebIQ Server) and then added to WebIQ Designer for configuration as well. 

It is not planned for the next release, maybe @webiq-eg can comment on this?

The only viable workaround I see currently would be to create an OPC-UA client with e.g. Node-OPCUA which would then connect to the OPC-UA server that emits the OPC-UA alarms and simply set normal items when such alarms occur that can then again be observed by WebIQ.
