Designer has three Cloud-specific actions for use in triggering, so a device can reach into Cloud rather than only the other way round.
Remote Site Notification#
Sends a notification to subscribed site users. Choose Warning or Error and provide a message.
Each notification carries the type, the message, the device and site it came from, a timestamp generated by the site, and a link straight to the device.
Important
The user must be signed in to the site in Designer at the time of upload, or the action cannot be configured.
Run Remote Site Task#
Runs a task in the device's site.
To pick a task, you need to be signed in to the site in Designer with permission to interact with tasks, and the device must be part of that site.
Important
Once configured, the device runs the task itself - so user permissions no longer apply. A task wired into a trigger will fire regardless of who is or is not signed in.
Rerun Remote Site Task#
Sends a request to Cloud to re-send the last task action dispatched to the device by a task scheduler. This can be used to restore lost Cloud overrides in the event of a device rebooting.
