Device Command Trigger

The Device Command Trigger will trigger a workflow whenever the edge compute device receives a command.

Configuration

The Device Command Trigger has no configuration. When a workflow with this trigger is deployed to an Edge Compute device, if that device receives a command, the workflow will fire.

Payload

The payload will include the triggering device command on the data field. In the general case, a device command workflow payload will look like the following:

    "name": <name of the command>,
    "payload": {
      "your": "custom",
      "command": "values",
      ...
    },
    "time": <time of the command>
  },
  "deviceId": <id of the edge device>,
  "deviceName": <the edge device name>,
  "deviceTags": {<any tags for the edge device>},
  "flowId": <id of the current workflow>,
  "flowName": <name of the current workflow>,
  "flowVersion": <name of the current workflow version>,
  "globals": <object of workflow globals>,
  "isConnectedToLosant": <if the agent is connected to Losant>,
  "agentEnvironment": <object of environment variables>,
  "time": <time the command arrived>,
  "triggerId": "deviceCommand",
