Configuration of detection of physical conditions in and/or around a communication apparatus is described. Further, configuration of an action responsive to the detection of physical conditions, or changes in physical conditions, is described. The communication apparatus may output a user notification in response to a moisture detection notification. A user interface of the communication apparatus may receive a user response. Further actions may be then taken based on the user response to the user notification. Alternatively or in addition, an end-user may predetermine a set of actions to be performed in response to the moisture event. Further, a respective set of actions may be specified for several possible severity levels or thresholds values of the moisture detection.
