-Typically, this function can be used to report alarm conditions. Sending an email is triggered by an alarm condition. Another email will be sent if the alarm went off, was reset and subsequently occurred again. The alarm is active when the value of the variable ''temperature'' exceeds the value of the variable ''temperature_limit'' (with hysteresis).+Typically, this function can be used to report alarms.  Email being sent is triggered by the occurrence of an alarm, in our case variable ''temperature'' exceeds the value of the variable ''temperature_threshold'' (with hysteresis). Another email (with different message content) is sent after the value of ''temperature'' variable is  lowered below the value of ''temperature_threshold'' variable (with hysteresis).
