Node-RED is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.It provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette that can be deployed to its runtime in a single-click.
Seems one of the ways to automate our home: [WayBack] Node-RED, as it supports many input and output methods with all kinds of nodes between them:
| input |
output |
| inject |
debug |
| catch |
|
| status |
|
| link |
link |
| mqtt |
mqtt |
| http |
http response |
| websocket |
websocket |
| tcp |
tcp |
| udp |
udp |
| serial |
serial |
It is based on node.js, seems to need PM2 for running as a service, so I need to first figure out how well it runs on OpenSuSE (with more details than this gist).
After that I need to figure out how to version your configurations using git and document as it looks like the configurations sources are stored in JSON format [WayBack].
For resources:
- StackOverflow node-red tag
- Github node-red repositories
- nodered documentation to:
- get started (including Installation, Running, Adding non-stock Nodes, Upgrading, Creating your first and second flow, running on Docker / Windows)
- running on a device (Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, Android) which needs extra device specific modules to hardware inputs/outputs
- communicating with a device (Arduino)
- running in the cloud (IBM Bluemix, SenseTecnic FRED, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure)
- user guide (including Configuration, Security, Logging, Command-line Admin, Writing Functions, Embedding into an existing app)
- cookbook (with many flows covering Basics, HTTP and MQTT)
- creating nodes (with a wall of information: Creating your first node, JavaScript File, HTML File, Storing Context, Node properties, Node credentials, Node appearance, Node status, Configuration nodes, Help style guide, Packaging, Internationalisation)
- flows (hundreds of them)
Code is published as JSON, but I wish more examples also showed the visual representation.
Via: [WayBack] Now I can go to bed :-) Added node-red [1] to my setup and thanks to node-red-contrib-ui [2] (replaced by node-red-dashboard [3]) I can now generate ni… – Jan Wildeboer – Google+ who also provided the large screenshot below.
