config:# sensor externalsensor <n> <sensor type> hysteresis <value>

Variables:

 <n> is the ID number of the environmental sensor that you want to

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.

 <value> is a numeric value that is assigned to the hysteresis for the

specified environmental sensor. See What is Deassertion

Hysteresis? (on page 100) for how the deassertion hysteresis works.

Example

The following command sets the deassertion hysteresis of the

environmental "temperature" sensor with the ID number 4 to 2 degrees

Celsius.

config:# sensor externalsensor 4 temperature hysteresis 2

Setting the Sensor's Assertion Timeout

This command syntax configures the assertion timeout value of a numeric

environmental sensor.

config:# sensor externalsensor <n> <sensor type> assertionTimeout

<value>
