MESH blocks can collect and send certain types of data. For instance, you can program MESH Temperature & Humidity to send a notification of room temperature to your device. Follow the steps below to learn how to create a recipe using the notification feature.

Note:

  • Many MESH blocks can collect and send data (see table below).
