The block type automatically change to match chose device.
Example for boolean
Example for numeric value
The following block set a device value.

Special case for events
In some case, device are action commandable. In such a case, the block change its title
Block which allow to wait for one or many events to occur.
An event can be one of the following types:
- on a device data apparition : for example, waiting for the next temperature from my living room
- on a device data apparition on a condition : for example, waiting for the next temperature greater than 35°C from my living room
- on a data type apparition : for example, waiting for the next temperature data (from any of all my devices)
- on a data type apparition on a condition : for example, waiting for the next temperature data greater than 35°C (from any of all my devices)
- on a specific date and time : for example : do something every tuesday at 10h42 AM
- every minutes
When one of configured event occurs, then the block apply associated actions, then ends.
In most of cases, its is recommanded to put block into an infinite loop.
This is to use the gear/cog icon to edit block behavior. From the opening graphical interface, events can be chosen.
The block can be modulated to wait several events simultaneously.
Example : block configuration
Result after configuration
It is also possible to obtain information about the event being processed.
This is accomplished using the block "Event information":
It could get:
- the device name (usefull when a data type is triggered to know which device is event source)
- the exact value which trigerred the event
Complete example
Obtain information about the current event.
This helps to know which equipment/data triggered the event; as well as its value.
