Table Queries and Aggregations are now available for all

With Table Queries and Aggregations, users can manipulate records, and perform deeper analysis on their data. Run multiple operations on top of different columns, and define queries that can be shared across apps.

Aggregations can be created and applied across any number of queries. These features will allow you to build and display lists of data based on certain criteria in apps and pull up specific records when you need them.

Hi Youri, we are actively considering this but don’t currently have a set timeline and will be sure to communicate if things change.

Hi all, could you give more info about this trigger ? Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi Patxi,

This was a performance improvement that we made when a trigger is updating a Tulip Table record many times - it combines these updates into one API call.

  • Added support for serial devices through Node-RED*

How do we identify the serial port in Node-RED using one of the USB ports?

Thank you Sam. I had figured everything else out and had it working off the UART port but didn’t know about the restart of Node-RED to cause it to show the USB port.

I just tried what you said and the Arduino device I plugged in shows up as this ( /dev/ttyACM0 )…

And when I select it I get this…

So maybe this type of device is not supported, but I can at least use the UART port on the Edge MC to accomplish the same thing for now which uses this port…

I may order one of those cables to use in testing.

Thanks!
