4.5.3 Control/Logic > Actions (Add, edit, and delete Actions)
Actions are simple “work orders” which do specific things when activated. Actions can “do things” without
the need for more complex Lua scripts. You use actions to turn a relay on or off, pulse a relay, force a
data log, send an Email, run a Lua expression, etc. Actions occur in response to a specific Event
selected within the Action. The Actions menu tab presents a list of the current Actions.
To add a new action, click Add New Action.
