Open details of this new virtual switch and select Add a new smart rule
Select smart rule Equation
Set smart rule Equation to turn on your virtual emergency switch if the notification condition is met.
In our example, we are checking if one of temperatures (Temperature 1, Temperature 2) is higher than 25ºC. Also, once this condition is met, we set minimum duration to 30 minutes, so that we don't receive notifications too often.
