There are various ways. Your Lua script could periodically connect outside to retrieve some data and set local variables for example. If you'd prefer to control this from outside you could also write an HTTP service in Lua that receives a certain URL after appropriate controls and extracts info from query string, payload or headers, and sets variables as well. I don't have much example to point you to, though. Hoping this helps, Willy
