Node Action Properties
With the Action tab, you can specify the action that a certain event will cause.
The example below illustrates the sequence that occurs when an extension’s
threshold event is “Treatment recommended” and action is “E-mail.”
The extension registers itself as listener on the input tag (e.g. the Temp sensor)
as soon as you set the Temp sensor as an input tag of the extension. A possible
event of this extension is the “Treatment recommended” event. This means
when you open the Action tab of this extension, the table shows the “Treatment
recommended” event. For this event, you might choose to send an E-mail. As
soon as this event is issued, the mail is sent. In any case, an issued event is
always written to the node's event list.
