Ioto Events

Ioto will signal important events and conditions using the Ioto runtime signal mechanism.

You can watch for certain conditions to happen and be notified when they do. For example, it can be useful to be notified when the network connects or disconnects to the cloud.

You can also use the signal mechanism to create your own conditions on which to watch and signal.

To watch for a condition:

1
rWatch("mqtt:connect", fn, data);

This will invoke fn() when the condition occurs and will provide the watch data and the signal argument.

3
void fn(void *data, void *arg) {
    //  Do something
}
