Connect logistics network to circuit network?

[Boogieman14]

Is it possible to connect the entire (wireless) logistics network to a red or green wire to export the contentinfo of the logistics network to other sites outside of the main lognet? Or would i need to connect all chests to a wire separately?

Yes.

Shame I think that could be a nice feature to have, and could probably be as simple as connecting any one roboport in the lognet to a coloured wire.

You are not the only one that thinks it would be a nice feature -

Lets summarize, what I believe should be added to the circuit network:
• Smart valve
• Configurable substation, so it doesn't transmit electricity when certain condition is not fulfilled
• Some kind of light indicator (colored lamp that is configured to work only under certain condition? Or even configure different condition for different colors of one lamp?)
• Switch (sends predefined signal(s) when turned on manually
• Automatic switch (under certain condition(s) it will emit specified signal), ideally it would have input and output which could be separate networks.
• Few different signals than the items (customs like light, ON/OFF entities (like enemy units), etc.)
• Light detector that sends the light signal.
• Train station emitting the count of items of the train in the station.
• Train signal connectable to network, will be never green when the signal is not fulfilled.
• Transport belt signaling machine, would emit the items on the transport belt to the network.
• Enemy radar (Maybe use common radar for that?) Will emit signal of enemy units in the radius.
• Add logistic condition to the inserter.
• Logistic emitter (emits supplies in the logistic network to the circuit network)

ah cool, thanks. I had done a brief search, but this must've been further down the results. Looks promising
