Input
Description
Inputs are used to gather sensor data.
The data collection is done in a time interval as configured.
This data inserted and stored in the database.
It can be analyzed or be used for decition making in output-conditions.
Types
There are basically two types of sensors:
Analogue sensors
can only be connected via analogue-to-digital converters, since the raspberry pi has no support for reading those directly
Digital sensors
can be directly connected to the raspberry pi gpio pins
Of course there is the possibility that you would want to add another source to pull data from. This can be done by using a custom script.
This way you can also implement new, not natively supported, sensors or connectors on your own.
