Configuration · Integrations

What this deployment speaks

One protocol per section: what it carries in, what it can be told, and what you have to configure before it will listen.

An integration is a protocol, not a device and not a connection. The list is fixed we ship it, and what you do with one is enable it, configure it, and decide whether it may be commanded. Nothing is created here; a device joins a protocol when you add the device.

Receiving and commanding are separate switches, and deliberately so. A live feed on a test bench is reasonable; letting that bench task an effector is not. Turning an integration on decides what may arrive; allowing commanding decides what may leave.

Availability follows the environment. A simulated environment carries the in-process link and nothing that reaches real hardware; a live one is the reverse. A protocol the current environment cannot carry is shown, disabled, with the reason, you will never be offered a switch that comes back as no.

Each row links to that protocol's own page: what arrives, how devices get onto it, the verbs it accepts, and what it needs configured.

Three objects, three questions

A protocol is not a device and not a connection, and the three get confused because the word "link" was doing all three jobs.

A link is not always one per device. On MQTT the credential is the identity, so there is one link per sensor. On MAVLink the system id inside the message is the identity, so twelve aircraft share one socket and one link. That asymmetry is why this page counts assets and never links.
