config:# sensor externalsensor <n> <sensor type> lowerWarning <option>
Set the deassertion hysteresis for an environmental sensor:
config:# sensor externalsensor <n> <sensor type> hysteresis <hy_value>
Set the assertion timeout for an environmental sensor:
config:# sensor externalsensor <n> <sensor type> assertionTimeout <as_value>
Variables:

<n> is the ID number of the environmental sensor that you want to
configure. The ID number is available in the EMX web interface or
using the command "
show externalsensors <n>
" in the CLI. It is
an integer between 1 and 32.

<sensor type> is one of these sensor types:
temperature,
absoluteHumidity, relativeHumidity, airPressure, airFlow
or
vibration
.
Note: If the specified sensor type does not match the type of the
specified environmental sensor, this error message appears:
"Specified sensor type 'XXX' does not match the sensor's type
(<sensortype>)," where XXX is the specified sensor type, and
<sensortype> is the correct sensor type.

<option> is one of the options:
enable
,
disable
or a numeric value.
Option Description
enable Enables the specified threshold for a specific
environmental sensor.
disable Disables the specified threshold for a specific
environmental sensor.
A numeric
value Sets a value for the specified threshold of a
specific environmental sensor and enables this
threshold at the same time.

<hy_value> is a numeric value that is assigned to the hysteresis for
the specified environmental sensor. See
"To De-assert" and
Deassertion Hysteresis
(on page 534).

<as_value> is a number in samples that is assigned to the assertion
timeout for the specified environmental sensor. It ranges between 1
and 100. See
"To Assert" and Assertion Timeout
(on page 532).
