Designer actions

Available on Designer LPC Family, Designer MSC Family, Designer VLC Family, Designer Atlas Family

Designer has three Cloud-specific trigger actions, so a device can reach into Cloud rather than only the other way round.

Remote Site Notification

Sends a notification to the site's subscribed users. Choose Warning or Error and give a message.

Each notification carries the type, the message, the device and site it came from, a timestamp generated by the site, and a link straight to the device.

Important

The action can only be configured while Designer is signed in to the site, at the time of upload.

Run Remote Site Task

Runs one of the site's tasks.

To pick the task you have to be signed in to the site in Designer with permission to interact with tasks, and the device has to belong to that site.

Important

Once it is configured the device runs the task itself, so user permissions no longer apply. A task wired into a trigger fires whether or not anyone is signed in.

Rerun Remote Site Task

Asks Cloud to re-send the last task action a task scheduler dispatched to this device. Use it to restore Cloud overrides lost when a device reboots.
