GREAT LOTUSInstall

Summary

Publishes a browser.new_tab request over MQTT to open a browser tab at the supplied URL, with an option to switch focus to it. Can optionally include selected fields from incoming items, wait for the MQTT response, and delay before passing the workflow onward.

Inputs

• Topic (required) — MQTT topic used to publish the request.
• Remote Port (required) — CDP port used to route the request to the intended client browser session.
• QoS — MQTT delivery quality level: 0 (at most once), 1 (at least once), or 2 (exactly once); defaults to 1.
• Include Input Items — When enabled, adds selected fields from incoming items to payload.inputItems. Choose paths such as id,name or status.detail.
• Wait For Response — When enabled, waits for the MQTT response before returning output. Defaults to disabled; the response timeout applies when enabled.
• Response Timeout (sec) — Maximum time to wait for a response, in seconds; shown when waiting is enabled and defaults to 60.
• Delay Next Step (ms) — Delay before continuing after publishing, or after receiving the response when waiting is enabled. Defaults to rand(200,1000).
• URL — Address to open, such as about:blank or a full web URL. May be left empty.
• Switch — Whether to switch focus to the new tab; defaults to true.

Output shape

A result from the MQTT request, with optional incoming item data carried in the request payload.

The operation publishes an action request. With Wait For Response off, it proceeds after publishing and the configured delay; with it on, it waits up to the configured timeout before proceeding. The supplied source view omits function bodies, so it does not establish the precise output fields or timeout/error behavior.
