Linking elements

The added elements can be linked to each other via connections. A connection can be created via the output of an element. The mouse can be used to drag the connection to another element and thus create a link in the data flow. If you release the connector in the free area, a subsequent element is automatically created or a selection of available element types is offered.

The following connections are possible:

MQTT-Source - Rule:

An MQTT-Source can be used in several rules. In addition, several MQTT-Sources can be used in a rule, provided they run with similar system times. If this is not the case, the editor recognizes this and issues a corresponding warning.

Rule - Recording:

Any number of recordings for saving data can be defined for a rule. However, only data from one rule can flow into a recording. For a recording, any number of rules can be created for further processing of the saved data. Here too, a rule can only accept data from a recording. No subsequent rules can currently be created for recordings with a ring buffer. It is also not possible to combine data from an MQTT-Source and a recording as data sources for a rule.

MQTT-Source - Recording:

This connection is not possible. A rule must always be inserted as an intermediate connection.
