Performance and stability considerations
- The use of plugins may result in slower messages registration in the flespi platform since it is preceded by requests to the third-party system.
- We cannot guarantee the performance or stability of the third-party systems involved in the process — in case of their service interruptions flespi will not be able to save messages to devices and will respond with negative ACK and will also terminate the connection if the required flag is set.
