     1  # Rules
     2  
     3  Rules are defined by nodes and are composed of additional child nodes for
     4  conditions and actions. See the node/point
     5  [schema](https://github.com/simpleiot/simpleiot/blob/master/data/rule.go) for
     6  more details.
     7  
     8  All points should be sent out periodically, even if values are not changing to
     9  indicate a node is still alive and eliminate the need to periodically run rules.
    10  Even things like system state should be sent out to trigger device/node offline
    11  notifications.
