# Equipment Setup Result

:iot-equipmentsetupresult-lg:{style="font-size: 100px"}

The `Equipment Setup Result` task is typically included in workflows that require equipment setup validation before driver communication begins. It communicates the outcome of an equipment setup process to the corresponding driver, and is automatically added to the workflow when the driver is created and is used only by that specific driver.

Although it is technically possible to include multiple instances of this task, only one `Equipment Setup` and one `Equipment Setup Result` task should exist per driver per controller.

!!! warning
    This task is deprecated and will be removed starting with version 12. Its functionality, along with Equipment Setup have been split into three separate actions: [[user-guide-automation-task-core-equipmentconfig]], [[user-guide-automation-task-core-driver-event]] and [[user-guide-automation-task-core-driver-command]].

## Workflows

## Inputs

| Name    | Data Type | IsTrigger | Description                                                  |
| ------- | --------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| success | `any`     | Yes       | Indicates that the setup process completed successfully. |
| failure | `any`     | Yes       | Indicates that the setup process failed. The driver retries after a short delay. |
| Activate | `any`    | Yes       | Activates the listener for system events. |

## Outputs

This task does not have any outputs.

## Settings

This task has no additional settings beyond the standard task configuration options.

## Behavior

In the driver communication state model, the `Equipment Setup Result` task signals the driver about the setup result (if any).

- When the setup was successful, the `success` input is triggered, the driver transitions to the `Communicating` state.  
- When the setup fails, the `failure` input is triggered, the driver transitions to the `ConnectingFailed` state and begins a retry cycle to reconnect to the equipment or device.

## Remarks

This task is only `Effective` while the driver is in `Setup` state.
