Configuring Tasks

Use the task group to define Lua functions that are executed periodically by the Lua Script Resource (LSR), such as background tasks, resource monitoring, event firing, and so on. These tasks allow you to introduce any customized functionality that you may need. You should follow the general pattern shown in the sample below:

tasks.Compare = function(me)
-- Do task
end

The following table describes the parameters that you can use to configure tasks:

Parameter	Description
task.nameOfTask	Implement a task that is scheduled in the Lua Script Resource to run periodically.
me	Create a table that refers to the Thing.
end	Define the end of the Lua function that defines the task.
