GREAT LOTUSInstall

Summary

Publishes an MQTT request that presses and holds a mouse button on a page element or screen coordinate. The button remains held after the action, so call mouse_release in a later step to finish a drag or text selection.

Inputs

• Topic (required) — MQTT topic used to publish the request.
• Remote Port (required) — CDP port used to route the action to the intended browser session; commonly mapped from the profile-opening node’s remote_debugging_port output.
• QoS — MQTT delivery quality level; defaults to 1.
• Include Input Items — When enabled, includes selected fields from incoming items in payload.inputItems; choose fields with dot paths or array indexes.
• Wait For Response — When enabled, waits for the MQTT response before returning; defaults to fire-and-forget.
• Response Timeout (sec) — Maximum response wait when waiting is enabled; defaults to 60 seconds.
• Delay Next Step (ms) — Delay before continuing after publishing, or after receiving a response when waiting is enabled. Supports expressions such as rand(200,1000).
• Target — Page element selector, such as css=button; may be omitted.
• XPath — XPath selector for the target element; may be omitted.
• X — Optional screen x-coordinate for the mouse action.
• Y — Optional screen y-coordinate for the mouse action.
• Button — Mouse button to hold: left (default), middle, or right.
• Central Click — When true, clicks the center of the element; when false, uses a random point within its safe area. Defaults to false.

Output shape

Workflow items containing the MQTT response when waiting is enabled; otherwise, output follows the node’s publish-only path.

The source pack provided is signature-level and does not show the execute implementation’s return construction, so the exact output fields and publish-only item behavior cannot be determined from the supplied source.
