Program Editor Overview

The Program Editor is a visual workspace for creating automation programs. Programs are assembled by connecting blocks that receive data, process values and trigger actions.

How a program is structured

A program consists of blocks and the connections between them:

  • Inputs provide values to a block.
  • Settings define how a block behaves.
  • Outputs pass the result to subsequent blocks.
  • Connections determine how data moves through the program.

Block categories

The available blocks are grouped by purpose, including Logic, Math, Control, Text, Color, JSON, Vector and Extension Blocks.
