Properties alarm not working

Hi,

i did create a template and this template has a thing shape in it, now i did create inside the thing shape an alert for a property and when i go to the alerts section inside the thing shape i can see the alert no problem and the thing that i created with this template also sees the alert in its properties & alerts section , when i try to change the property from zero to 1 to trigger the alarm manually  the alarm status does not change at all 
what am I missing ?
