We encountered a problem that a fake power alarm is reported to user on the platform unsupported notifications at the second step below: 1> Query 'power1_alarm' attribute when the power capping occurs. 2> Query 'power1_alarm' attribute when the power capping is over and the current average power is less then power cap value. The root cause is that the resource->power_alarm is set to true at the first step. And power meter use this old value to show the power alarm state instead of the current the comparison value.
