c. Type in or select the appropriate values for the Switch Relay action.

d. When you have finished, click OK to add this output action to the list of available output actions.

After you have selected an output control device from the Output Control Configuration window and 
clicked Sensors, the Sensor Configuration window opens. Use the Sensor Configuration window specify 
a unique identification label for a sensor, to specify the total amount of data from the selected sensor that 
will be preserved on the appliance, to specify user accounts that are authorized to manually change the 
state of selected relays, to create automation schedules for selected relays, and to create or modify 
thresholds for each relay which, if violated, will result in an alert condition being reported to the 
appliance.

The Sensor Configuration window is divided into two selection lists: Sensors and Thresholds. Any relays 
that are available for configuration on this device are listed in the Sensors selection list. Once you select 
a relay from the Sensors selection list any thresholds that have been defined for the selected sensor appear 
in the Thresholds selection list. 

To specify a label for a relay, the total amount of time that data reported by a selected sensor should be 
stored on the appliance, the users that are permitted to manually change the state of the relay, or to specify 
an automation schedule for the selected relay:

1. Select from the Sensors selection list the relay you want to modify.

2. Click Modify to open the Modify Sensor window.

3. Type in the Label field a label to identify this relay. This label can be up to 64 characters in length, 

and will be used to identify the relay in the Sensor Data pane, Advanced View interfaces, and in 
alert notifications.

4. Select from the Sensor Value History drop box the total amount of time that data reported by this 

sensor should be stored on the appliance. The total amount of data available on the appliance affects 
the maximum amount of data that can be graphed (for more information see “Viewing Graphs” on 
page 51).

5. Check the Prompt user before manually changing sensor state check box to prompt the user with 

a pop-up verification window prior to changing the state of the selected relay. 

6. Specify which non-Administrator accounts are authorized to manually change the relay state. To 

authorize a non-Administrator account to change relay states manually, select the name of the user 
account from the Available Users selection list and then click -> (right arrow) to move the selected 

Switch Initial State

The state (“On” or “Off”) in which the relay is 
assumed to be at the time the output action is 
assigned. 
Note: This is also the state to which the switch will 
be set when the appliance is powered up, regardless 
of what state the switch was in when the appliance 
was powered down. For example, if the Switch 
Initial State value is “Off,” but the switch output is in 
an “On” state when the appliance is powered off, the 
switch state will automatically revert to the Switch 
Initial State of “Off” when power is restored.
