Deploy a dashboard button that stops another flow

Dashboard
1

Hi,

I have 3 groups that continuously send data that constantly changes. I wanted to output the data but only when I click the dashboard button that corresponds to the relevant group.

So far I have it so that when the button is pressed, one message gets through.
I would like it so that the data continuously gets sent until the other button is pressed, then the data for the other group will get continuously sent.

I hope this make sense! Any help would be greatly appreciated xx
