I am using Apache Edgent (Java framework) to poll values from a HCSR04 ultrasonic sensor on a Raspberry Pi every 3 seconds. I use a filter to not get values from 50cm to 80cm.

    UltrasonicStream sensor = new UltrasonicStream();

    DirectProvider dp = new DirectProvider();

    Topology topology = dp.newTopology();

    TStream<Double> tempReadings = topology.poll(sensor, 3, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    TStream<Double> filteredReadings = tempReadings.filter(reading -> reading < 50 || reading > 80);

    System.out.println("filter added: tempReadings.filter(reading -> reading < 50 || reading > 80);");

    filteredReadings.print();

    dp.submit(topology);

I want to show some message when the values are filtered. When the values do not match with my filter I can poll them, but when they match I am not returning, that is ok. However, I want just to show that a value was filtered using Apache Edgent libraries. I know that I can do something on the public double get() method, but I wonder if I could do this trick with some method of the Apache Edgent.
