3.3.8.6. Settings / Rules - Digital Input Monitoring Rule
This rule can be used to monitor the status of an electrical contact (a door contact, a smoke contact, a
proximity sensor, a push button) and to initiate different actions if the contact status has changed.
Activated
This check box must be checked to activate the Rule and enables to deactivate temporarily a rule while
keeping all its settings for a later use.
Rule ID:
The ePowerSwitch 8M+

automatically creates an ID Code to clearly identify each rule. All the ID Codes
used to identify rules start with the letter "R" followed by a number from 1 to 32. If you delete a rule in the
middle of the Rule list, the number of this rule will only be used again if no other rule is available.

Rule Color:
In this field, select one of the 48 standard colours you want to use to highlight the rule when executed. To
