Value Filter

The value filter tool checks input values according to previously defined criteria and triggers an action depending on the filter result.

The triggered action may either be the passthrough of the input value or sending a fix value.

Configuration

Filter Options

• Value increases - the current input value is compared to the previous value. The success action is executed if the current value is greater.
  The following is applicable:

  • 2 > 1 → Send

  • true > false  → Send

  • Texts: B > A  → Send

• Value decreases - the current input value is compared to the previous value. The success action is executed if the current value is smaller. (Comparison examples from above inverted)

• Changing Value - the current input value is compared to the previous value. The success action is executed if the current value is different from the previous value.

• Unchanged Value - the current input value is compared to the previous value. The success action is executed if the current value is equal to the previous value.

• Value is equal to target - the current input value corresponds to a specified target value. 
  Comparison is also performed between different data types. Thus, a Boolean true, compared to a 1 or 1.0, will lead to a positive filter result.

• Value is not equal to target - the current input value differs from a specified target value. 
  Comparison is also performed between different data types. Thus, a Boolean true, compared to a 1 or 1.0, will lead to a negative filter result.

• Value changes to target - the current input value changes from any other value to the target (see above). In order to achieve a positive filter result again, the input value must deviate from the target in the meantime.

• Value changes away from target - the previous input value corresponded to the target, but the current value does not.

• Value changes from or to target - a combination of the last two options.

Send Value

In case of a positive filter result the input value can be sent, or a fixed value.
