configure. The number is assigned and shown on the Dominion PX
web interface. It is an integer between 1 and 16.
 <sensor type> is one of these sensor types: temperature or humidity.
Note: If the specified sensor type does not match the type of the
specified environmental sensor, this error message appears:
"Specified sensor type 'XXX' does not match the sensor's type
(<sensortype>)," where XXX is the specified sensor type, and
<sensortype> is the correct sensor type.
 <option> is one of the options: enable, disable or a numeric value.
Option Description
enable Enables the upper critical threshold for the
specified environmental sensor.
disable Disables the upper critical threshold for the
specified environmental sensor.
A numeric value Sets a value for the upper critical threshold of the
specified environmental sensor without enabling
or disabling the threshold.
Example
