Example rule setup
Under setup go to the top level system and click rules.
Click the "Add" button.
First we select an event to trigger the rule. In this example we choose "Digital input activated"
When you click the blue link you can specify which digital input. Tip: add the "custom keyboard command" for debugging ease
Next we select what has to happen when the rule is activated.
In this example we choose "Activate digital output"
And again if we click the blue link you can specify the output to be triggered.
The third step is to specify if a condition has to be met for the rule to be active.
