User can manage state of switch using MQTT or Actions. To change state of switch, user need to send data in following format.
User can select a source mode as MQTT or Action.
Using MQTT
Here, to change state of switch user can publish JSON object on given imageData MQTT topic. The JSON object will be as below. No need to provide <account_id> while providing the MQTT topic.
Using Action
Here, to change state of switch, output of the action should contain key-value pair with 'imageKey' key. User can also update the widget either onLoad or periodically by providing refresh interval.
Button onChange event is provided. User can choose MQTT or Action mode for onChange event.
Using MQTT
User needs to provide following parameters:
event - Select onChange 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 onClick event, MQTT mode is selected. It means when state of switch changes, it will publish configured data parameters on given MQTT topic.
So, as per the configuration shown in above images, when button state changes, JSON object with imgKey-UserRole as key-value pair gets published on buttonData topic. Please refer below image for final output.
Using Action
User needs to provide following parameters:
event - Select onChange event from dropdown
mode - Select mode as action
Action ID - Select required Action ID from dropdown
As shown in below images, for onChange event, action mode is selected. It means when switch state changes, it will trigger given Action with configured action parameters.​
If we configure Toggle Switch Widget as below:
key - toggleKey
and set source type for widget as MQTT and topic configured is 'data'. And if we publish following JSON Object over 'data' topic then Toggle Switch Widget will look as shown in image.
