External Recorder
INTRODUCTION
The External Recorde allows you to record data from a device inside your project to a external database.
It works like a normal Recorder, plus it gives you the chance to set up a “influxdb” gateway to export the data into your external database.
USE CASES
- You could set up a External Recorder to record data from multiple places, you can have more that one X1 server that aim to the same Data Base from different buildings.

COMPONENT’S PROPERTIES
Data to record: Components’ list whose data you want to record; You can choose components that represent binary states (e.g. Switch) or a numeric value (e.g. Info). Selection is carried out by dragging components from “My components” area to the list box.
Recording interval [s]: It involves recording a behaviour after every specified time period [seconds]; When the field is left empty or filled with “0” value, Recorder keeps recording any behaviour every second.
