Triggers

A curtailment rule has separate trigger conditions for powering down and powering up the miners. In addition to specifying a electricity price and custom trigger can be used. If both the electricity price and a custom triggers are selected - both conditions must be met for the power down or power up to happen.

Custom triggers are defined in standard rules in the Options dialog, Rules section, Rules tab. After saving the rule it will be possible to reference from the curtailment rule.

Actions

When the trigger conditions are met, the specified actions will be executed.
