GREAT LOTUSInstall

Summary

Publishes an MQTT request asking a client to generate random values, then returns the client’s response for downstream workflow steps. Choose a random type and configure its type-specific options; the node runs this action synchronously.

Inputs

• topic (required) — MQTT topic used to publish the request to the client.
• qos — MQTT delivery quality; defaults to QoS 1.
• Random Type — Value to generate: number, password, RGB/hex color, or mouse position. Defaults to number.
• Result Count — Number of results to request; defaults to 1.
• Number From / Number To — For number generation, set the range bounds; defaults to 0 and 1000.
• Allow Float / Step — For numbers, control whether floating-point results are allowed and the step size; defaults to false and 1.
• Password Length and character options — For passwords, set length (default 12) and whether to include numbers, lowercase, uppercase, or symbols, exclude similar or ambiguous characters, and avoid repeats. Defaults enable all character groups and exclusions; repeat avoidance is off.
• Color Format / Add Hex Prefix / Hex Prefix — For RGB colors, choose rgb or hex (default rgb). For hex, optionally add a prefix, defaulting to # when enabled.
• From (x1,y1) / To (x2,y2) — For mouse positions, specify the coordinate bounds; defaults to 0,0 and 1920,1080.

Output shape

A single item containing the client response.

The request is published over MQTT and the node waits synchronously for the client response. The source view does not expose a more specific response field shape.
