- The ! character means that the corresponding sensor is physically connected but not activated. If you  
   want to activate it, go to the Settings/Power Outlets tab. 
- The   character (blank) means that the corresponding sensor is physically connected and activated. 
 
According to the device you use, choose the Analog Input in the second Drop-Down (temperature, 
humidity, light, current, energy...).   
 
Action Condition: 
The options higher than and lower than enable you to define when the rule has to be executed. 
- Choose higher than if you want to execute the rule when the environment value exceeds the value you 
defined in the field on the right of higher than. 
- Choose lower than if you want to execute the rule when the environment value is below the value you 
defined in the field on the right of lower than. 
 
• For temperature, you can define values between -25°C and 60°C, +/- 2°C. 
• For relative humidity, you can define values between 20 RH and 80 RH, +/- 3%. 
 
• For ambient light, you can define values between 0 and 1000 Lux. 
• For the effective current (rms), you can define values between 1 and 10 Amps. 
 
Configuring the Actions 
 
For the Event defined above, you can choose and configure the following actions: 
 
Set Group: 
This type of action appears and can be configured only if you have already created at least one 
group (Settings/Groups Tab). 
Check this box and in the corresponding drop-down list choose the power outlet group the rule will apply 
to. In the next corresponding drop-down list, choose the action to execute. 
Each power outlet group can be switched On/Off and restarted. If you choose restart you will also be 
able to define a restart delay between 0 and 65535 seconds. 
- If you choose 0 second, the delay will be the delay defined in the ePowerSwitch power outlets settings. 
- If you choose a delay different from 0, the delay will replace the delay defined in the ePowerSwitch  
  power outlets settings. 
Set Power Outlet: 
Check this box and in the corresponding drop-down list choose the power outlet the rule will apply to. In 
the next corresponding drop-down list, choose the action to execute. Each power outlet can be switched 
On/Off and restarted. If you choose restart you will also be able to define a restart delay between 0 and 
65535 seconds. 
- If you choose 0 second, the delay will be the delay defined in the ePowerSwitch power outlets settings. 
- If you choose a delay different from 0, the delay will replace the delay defined in the ePowerSwitch  
  power outlets settings. 
Set Digital Output: 
Check this box and in the first corresponding drop-down list, choose the device from which one you want 
to switch a digital output. In the second drop-down list, choose the digital output the rule will apply to. In 
the next corresponding drop-down list, choose the action to execute. Each digital output can be open, 
close, pulse open or pulse close. If you choose pulse..., you will also be able to define a pulse delay 
between 0 and 65535 seconds.  
- If you choose 0 second, the delay will be the delay defined in the digital output settings. 
- If you choose a delay different from 0, the delay will replace the delay defined in the digital output  
  settings.
