filefunction / class

Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Detect a specific sequence of sensor readings, like temperature and humidity thresholds happening in order.

REASON 2

Generate a C++ monitor for a robotics system that reacts to specific event sequences.

REASON 3

Track anomalies in manufacturing equipment data using declarative pattern rules instead of manual conditionals.

REASON 4

Monitor a continuous data stream from a message queue without storing the full history in memory.

How do you spin it up?

Difficulty · hard Time to first run · 1h+

Requires writing a YAML pattern spec and compiling the generated C++ monitor code.

The README does not specify license details.

Yoink these prompts

Prompt 1
Write a reelay YAML pattern spec that detects 'event A then event B then event A again' in a data stream.
Prompt 2
Explain how to use reelay's temporal logic patterns to express timing-based rules for sensor data.
Prompt 3
Generate a reelay pattern for detecting when temperature drops below 50F followed by repeated high humidity readings.
Prompt 4
Show me how to integrate a reelay-generated C++ monitor into a real-time sensor processing pipeline.
