Sensor events
Sensor configuration
After connecting a sensor to a device, you can send a configuration through the Device Overview >> Settings >> Set sensor event.
In this config file, you can set up exactly which values will be sent to your content when an event happens.
For example, you can connect a sensor with two buttons and set their press down values toprev
and next
.
- There is a two-way communication between "Contents" and "Sensors". Event handlers can be set for both of them in "Contents".
Edit sensor events
Create and open a Content, add some Pages, then select EDIT SENSOR EVENTS
in the Content
properties of the right-hand menu.
Input actions
We call everything an input event
, when something happens to a sensor (a button is pressed, someone walks in front of a motion sensor, etc), and sends a value to the content.
Input actions
will be executed when their conditions match an input event.
- Click "Add value" to add a new row. Right now, only a couple of options are visible.
- As condition, we can specify a
Sensor Event
Additional conditions
In Input settings
you can enable additional conditions such as:
Sensor Value and Sensor ID
![]() | ![]() |
---|
Regular Expressions
You can enable an option to use regular expression for sensor values.
Trigger Zone
- When a content receives a
Sensor value
, it will check thePage wide events
from top to bottom, then theContent wide events
from top to bottom.
Final
- If any of them fulfills the condition, the corresponding action will be executed.
- If an executed action was Final, any action that comes after this one will be ignored.
- If it is not Final and more Action's conditions are fulfilled, more Actions can be executed for that event.
Output actions
We call everything an Output event when a Content sends a value towards a Sensor.
Output sensors such as relays and printers can react to these.
