Hi Chton,

thanks for the feedback. You can click on the "i" that appears when you move your mouse over a component to get this modal view with the usable triggers and actions. http://imgur.com/EdGf9Hz

Otherwise you can click the info button on the upper right corner of settings view of every component http://imgur.com/UpAcLdk

Cheers

aha that is a big help, I probably should have searched around more before complaining. Thanks, and good luck with your platform!

One of the mushrooms is Node Red (http://nodered.org) which you can install on you own machines if you don't like hosted services.

Node Red is free and open source and can be combined with the Freeboard dashboard frontend. Give it a shot with Vagrant: https://github.com/jsilence/vagrant-nodered-freeboard

Thanks for the info. I know about node-RED, since it's a company in the same space and with some of the same intentions as my own. Gotta know your friendly neighbourhood competitors :)

I've been using Node Red for a little bit now, and Freeboard looks sweet, but what does Vagrant do here?

Vagrant is there for people who would like to give the Node Red / Freeboard combo a quick shot without the installation and configuration hustle. Convenience.

dweet.io, the pub/sub service from BugLabs now has alerts, which means you can fashion conditional triggers. Still in beta though.
