What is Node-RED?
Node red is a Open Source flow based tool and IOT platform and Dashboard developed by IBM and written in Node.js.
Node-red lets you easily build applications by joining together black box functions (nodes) using a web interface, and it requires very little, if any, programming knowledge.
Because of its flexibility and ease of use node-red is ideally suited for building IOT and Home control dashboards and automations as well as many other applications.
Node-red can be installed locally on Windows and Linux and also because of its small size also on the raspberry Pi.
It is also available as a cloud service from IBM and others like flowfuse.
- Create Industrial IOT applications
- home automation
- industrial monitoring
- prototyping
- edge computing
All without having to write lots of complex code. On this site we will be using node-red to create IOT applications.
Note: I am in the process of moving IOT related node-red content back to this site from stevesnoderedguide.com
