Adding a custom function in the developer application

Adding a custom function in the developer application

A custom function can be added within the developer application for a specific model or module. You can configure the custom function to meet the specific requirements of a trigger or feature. Once created, this custom function will be available in the corresponding device, asset, or location of the model selected in the configuration.

To add a custom function,
  1. Access the Developer Application.
  2. Click the Automate tab in the top.



  3. Select Actions in the left pane.



  4. Select the Custom Functions tab.



  5. Click on Add Custom Function.



  6. Provide the required values in the required fields. For this illustration, Message Handler option is selected.



    Learn how to configure fields for a custom function.
    Note: The custom function will be available only to the instance of the model/module selected while configuration. 
  7. Click Save. This will open the deluge code builder.



  8. Provide the required code.



  9. Click Save and Close to save the code to the custom function and exit.
The custom functions will now be added to the application.

After a custom function is added, it must be associated with the appropriate feature or module for the code to be executed. Learn more about associating custom functions.
