Create Entities

AlertStateDefinition

Create a new StateDefinition called "rcp_AlertStateDefinition"
In the State Information tab, select Apply State: Numeric from the list on the right hand side
Create a new State:

Less than or equal to "1"
Display Name: "Something good"
Style: a new custom style with text color #f5b83d (orange)

Create a new State:

Less than or equal to "2"
Display Name: "Something bad"
Style: a new custom style with text color #f55c3d (red)

Create a new State:

Less than or equal to "3"
Display Name: "Something ugly"
Style: a new custom style with text color #ad1f1f (red) with a Font Bold

Edit the "Default" State

Set the Style: a new custom style with text color #36ad1f (green)
We will not use this style, but in case we need a default configuration it will blend into the color schema

Save the StateDefinition

ValueStream

Create a new ValueStream called "rcp_ValueStream" (choose a default ValueStream, not a RemoteValueStream)
Save the ValueStream

AlertThing

Create a new Thing called "rcp_AlertThing"

Based on a Generic Thing Base Thing Template
Using the rcp_ValueStream Value Stream

In the Properties and Alerts tab create the following Properties

Name: "trigger"

Base Type: BOOLEAN
With a Default Value of "false"
Check the "Persistent" checkbox

Name: "selectedReason"

BaseType: NUMBER
Check the "Persistent" checkbox
Check the "Logged" checkbox
Advanced Settings: Data Change Type: ALWAYS

In the Services tab create a new Service

Name: "clearTrigger"
No Inputs and no Outputs
Service code
```
me.trigger = false;
```
When this service is executed, it will set the trigger Property to false

Click Done to complete the Service creation
Save the Thing
