	You can create several event handlers that include the same event, each with somewhat different criteria. For example, you might have a separate event handler that during daylight hours will close the blinds in response to the "Watching Media" event. During nighttime hours, "Watching Media" might trigger the lights to dim, instead.		You can create several event handlers that include the same event, each with somewhat different criteria.

You can add a event handler to indicate a desired command to be executed in response to every occurrence of a specific situation (event).
