# Data Streams

Data streams are a way to structure data that regularly flows in and out of a device. These data streams are connected to the various widgets on the app or web dashboard that allow the user to receive data, view data, or send commands to the device. For this project we will need four different data streams. One for each relay that is to be controlled. 

To do this click on the data streams tab. 

Then click on the +New Datastream button.

Setup up four data streams as shown in the image above with the following names, Relay 1, Relay 2, Relay 3, and Relay 4.&#x20;

When you are done you should have four data streams as shown in the image below.&#x20;
