What all connectors share

The connectors follow the same basic rules so you can find your way around quickly.

Triggering

Most connectors are triggered by an incoming message. Some subscribe to data streams via MQTT and have no input.

Output format

The output follows Smart Data Models, either as a complete NGSI-LD entity or as a flat object for the NGSI-LD Builder.

Terms of use

External services have rate limits and licences. The node pages list them under Notes. Check them before going into production.
