I am using a fibaro door/window sensor with the optional temp sensor ds18b20 to monitor the temp on my boiler. I am wondering how I can create a low temp and high temp event that will trigger an email alert?

Can you help me understand how you are able to use a sensor like yours to monitor your boiler temp?
What exactly is it monitoring and how is it connected?

That will let you put in a temperature for the temp sensor. When anything above that temp is recorded it should send you an email.
In events just do as djsaad mentioned WITH an ANDIF the Virtual Device is off. Then do a separate event that turns it off at a temperature (preferably a degree or two lower than the On temperature so it does not bounce off and on if it is hovering right at your on temperature) ANDIF the Virtual Device is on.
Then only E-mail yourself when the High Level Virtual Device is turned on.
This also allows you to use time delays in setting or resetting your virtual device.
If there is a better way to do this, someone please feel free to "correct" me.

Actually I was overthinking it. It was really pretty simple. On the temperature sensor I was able to create a greater than and less than event of the temperature thresholds I set. I did not set a "reset" on the event as the event is only triggered when the sensor is polled which I think is every 30-45 minutes-but that polling interval is configurable on the device somewhere I saw.
