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 PX3TS 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 PX3TS
notifies the system administrator of the event via email.
If you want the PX3TS 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 PX3TS email the temperature report every
hour.
Note that you need the Administrator Privileges to configure event rules.
