<p>Hi everyone and Thank You for reading. I have  built a dashboard with Grafana. The sensor readings comes to me from a MQTT broker and are stored in Inflixdb. Now I want to add a button on the Dashboard in order to toggle an actuator (a water pump). Can you help me and suggest me how to do? I do not see any widget in Grafana to add an actuator.
Thank you for your help.</p>

Roberto - perhaps you should add your suggestion as an answer? Ie a link, the name of the plugin and why it would be suitable?
