Flow Control
Delay
- Setup: Define the delay duration in milliseconds or seconds.
- Features: Pauses the signal before passing it to the next node. Crucial for sequencing actions that require hardware to process previous commands.
Repeater
- Setup: Define the interval and the number of repetitions.
- Features: Takes a single incoming signal and fires it multiple times. Useful for “pinging” a device or sending a warning flash multiple times.
Sequence
- Setup: Add multiple output paths to the node.
- Features: Steps through its list of outputs one at a time, advancing by one each time it receives a trigger. Perfect for building a “Next Cue” button that fires different commands in order.
Merge
- Setup: Connect multiple triggers to the input side.
- Features: Combines multiple incoming paths into a single output path, keeping your graph clean when several different triggers should result in the exact same action.
State Management
Toggle
- Setup: Connect a trigger to the input.
- Features: Flips a boolean state (On -> Off -> On) each time it’s triggered. You can route the “On” and “Off” outputs to different actions (e.g., a single button that mutes and unmutes a console channel).
Counter
- Setup: Define a starting value and a step amount.
- Features: Increments or resets a numerical count based on incoming triggers.
Latch / Gate
- Setup: Connect a trigger to the “Open” input, and another to the “Close” input.
- Features: Holds a signal path open until explicitly released, or acts as a gate that only allows signals through when it is currently in the “Open” state.
Current Time
- Setup: Drop the node into your flow.
- Features: Injects the current system time as a data value into your automation flow, which can be passed along to HTTP Requests or text variables.
Conditionals and Variables [BETA]
If / Else
- Setup: Define a logical condition (e.g.,
Value > 5orText == "Live"). - Features: A conditional branch that routes the signal out the “True” path or the “False” path based on the evaluation.
Set Variable / Variable
- Setup: Define a variable name and assign it a value.
- Features: Store text or inbound numeric values in memory, and reuse those exact values later in different parts of your automation flow.
