Rule Function

Functions

Functions in Qubitro allow you to process, modify, and automate actions based on incoming device data. There are multiple function types, each serving a specific purpose.

How It Works

When data is received from a device, Qubitro processes it through a Rule Function in the following steps:

1

Check Debounce Period

Prevents excessive triggering by ensuring the rule is not executed too frequently.

2

Evaluate Condition

Determines whether the incoming data meets the defined criteria.

3

Trigger Action

If the condition is met, the configured action is executed immediately.

Rule Functions operate only on real-time data – They cannot query historical data from the database.

Each Rule Function executes a single pre-configured action – It does not support executing multiple actions within one function.

Condition Configuration

Rule Functions in Qubitro allow you to define conditions that determine whether an action should be triggered based on incoming device data.

There are two ways to configure conditions:

JavaScript Logic Builder

For users familiar with coding, the JavaScript Logic Builder allows custom condition creation using JavaScript syntax.
