Cloud Event Recipient (nCloudDriver-CloudEventRecipient)

In Niagara 4.9 and later, the CloudEventRecipient is used much like the CloudAlarmRecipient, but with the Niagara EventService.

This generic component is configured to receive event data from Niagara as they are generated and send them to the cloud using the configured factory and the configured CloudConnector. The protocol used is determined by the configured CloudSentienceDevice protocol Type.

NOTE: A configured NiagaraCloudNetwork object must exist in the station in order for the CloudEventRecipient to function properly. Additionally, the CloudConnector must be properly configured in the station's Services.

The DefaultSource component is found in the event palette, while the CloudEventRecipient component is in the nCloudDriver palette.
