In here you can add, edit and delete rules.  You basically select a webtag, a condition and a value.  For example, 'temp' less than 10.  Also note how often you should be told of this event.  Currently you can be notified each time the event happens, hourly or once per day.  You may also customise the message to be emailed to you for each Rule.
