A Note about Infinite Loop
You should avoid building an infinite loop when creating event rules.
The infinite loop refers to a condition where the PX3 keeps busy because
the action or one of the actions taken for a certain event triggers an
identical or similar event which will result in an action triggering one
more event.
Example 1
This example illustrates an event rule which continuously causes the
PX3 to send out email messages.
Event selected Action included
Device > Sending SMTP message failed Send email
Example 2
This example illustrates an event rule which continuously causes the
PX3 to send out SMTP messages when one of the selected events listed
on the Device menu occurs. Note that <Any sub-event> under the Device
menu includes the event "Sending SMTP message failed."
Event selected Action included
Device > Any sub-event Send email
Example 3
This example illustrates a situation where two event rules combined
regarding the outlet state changes causes the PX3 to continuously power
cycle outlets 1 and 2 in turn.
Event selected Action included
Outlet > Outlet 1 > Sensor > Outlet
State > On/Off > Both (trigger condition) Cycle Outlet 2
(Switch outlets --> Cycle Outlet -->
Outlet 2)
Outlet > Outlet 2 > Sensor > Outlet
State > On/Off > Both (trigger condition) Cycle Outlet 1
(Switch outlets --> Cycle Outlet -->
Outlet 1)
