devices in City A, you must create a normal ev
ent handler (use

otification) for those devices in City A using the
previous
Event System combo collection and it is enabled all the time. Do the same for City B.
To handle the tran
sient nature for turning the event handler on and off for the other CMS devices, use
a Custom tool, which creates the handler for other CMS devices only when that CMS becomes
unavailable.
Creating the custom tool
This tool adds an event handler for the dev
ices that no longer have their CMS to perform notification.
