Event Rules and Actions
A benefit of the product's intelligence is its ability to notify you of or react
to a change in conditions. This event notification or reaction is an "event
rule."
An event rule consists of two parts:

Event: This is the situation where the EMX or a device connected to it
meets a certain condition. For example, the inlet's voltage reaches
the warning level.

Action: This is the response to the event. For example, the EMX
notifies the system administrator of the event via email.
If you want the EMX to perform one action at a regular interval instead of
waiting until an event occurs, you can schedule that action. For example,
you can make the EMX email the temperature report every hour.
Note that you need the Administrator Privileges to configure event rules.

1. Choose Device Settings > Event Rules.
