Edge run executable

Help
1

I was hoping to do the following:
Have a dashboard with an “input control block” that sends a “device command” to an edge device.
The edge device receives the “Device command Trigger” and runs an edge workflow which contains a “Run executable Node” and returns some data to the payload.
How can I visualize that returned data in the initial dashboard with the Input block?

Hey @Lars_Andersson,

There are a few ways you could do this, but they all distill down to reporting the result of the executable as device state.

You can do this with a Device State node in your Edge workflow, or you could publish a message to a custom MQTT topic and use an MQTT trigger node in an Application workflow.

Let me know if this answers your question.

Thank you,
Heath

Thanks, I got that working good using device state.
