User can select a source mode as MQTT or Action.
Using MQTT
Here, to change value of Slider widget user can publish JSON object on given sliderData MQTT topic. No need to provide <account_id> while providing the MQTT topic. The JSON object will be as below.
Using Action
Here, to change value of Slider widget, output of the action should contain key-value pair with 'sliderKey' key. User can also update the widget either onLoad or periodically by providing refresh interval.
Button onClick event is provided. User can choose MQTT or Action mode for onClick event.
Using MQTT
User needs to provide following parameters:
event - Select OnChangeSubmitted event from dropdown
mode - Select mode as MQTT
topic - Enter topic name directly. No need to provide accountID.
Data parameters - Add new data parameter item. Each data parameter item represent a key-value pair. So select required parameter and give key name to it.
As shown in below images, for onChangeSubmitted event, MQTT mode is selected. It means when the slider value gets changed, it will publish configured data parameters on given MQTT topic.​
So, as per the configuration shown in above images, when the slider value changes, JSON object with speed-Slider.data as key-value pair gets published on data topic.
Using Action
User needs to provide following parameters:
event - Select onChangeSubmitted event from dropdown
mode - Select mode as action
Action ID - Select required Action ID from dropdown
As shown in below images, for onChangeSubmitted event, action mode is selected. It means when user slider value is changed, it will trigger given Action with configured action parameters.
If we configure Slider Widget as below:
key - sliderKey
Min - 0
Max -100
Step Size - 1
and set source type for widget as MQTT and topic configured is 'data'. And if we publish following JSON Object over 'data' topic then Slider Widget will look as shown in image.
