App Method

App Method data connector streams data into given app method. App can be used as an abstraction to analyze data coming from different devices, store state in app properties to make decisions, and generate alerts based on conditions. This connector can be very handy when making domain decisions based on multiple device states without doing polling. You can create an app for each scenario or analysis. For example if you make a decision if a person left home or not based on a contact sensor on the front door and a motion detector looking into the hallway, you can create an app, plug these two sensors into this app and create an App Method data connector to stream and analyze the device data.

App Method configuration object consists of the following attributes:

Attribute	Description
type	Connector type; must be always set to `method`.
id	App wide unique connector id.
method	Id or name of the App method that will receive data value.
dataProcessingMethod	Optional. Id or name of the App method that will be used for filtering and/or transforming incoming data. This method will be called before data sent to `method`. See Overview page for details.
disabled	Optional. When `true` data connector stops streaming.
