Applications of node red
Applications of node red
1- Home Automation
Smart Home Control this Integrate various smart home devices like lights, thermostats,
and security systems for centralized control and automation.
Make IoT Device Management this manage and monitor IoT devices, setting up triggers
and actions based on device states.
2- Industrial Automation
collecting data for predictive maintenance and operational efficiency and Monitor
machinery and equipment in real-time
Automate industrial processes by integrating different systems and sensors, optimizing
workflows, and reducing manual intervention.
3-Healthcare
Integrate patient monitoring systems and medical devices to track health metrics and
alert healthcare providers of any anomalies.
Also Combine data from various healthcare systems, facilitating data sharing and
interoperability for better patient care.
Working principle
Nodes in node red are activated when specific events occur like receiving data
or reaching a scheduled time.( Node-RED operates on an event-driven model)
Data is encapsulated in messages, typically JavaScript objects. These messages
are passed from node to node along the defined wires in a flow.
Configuration in node
Each node can be configured with properties specific to its function, such as
setting an API endpoint for an HTTP request node or defining a query for a
database node.
Also Users can create custom nodes using JavaScript to extend the functionality
of Node-RED, allowing for highly customized workflows.
Nodes provide status indicators and messages in the editor to show their current
state or any errors, aiding in real-time monitoring and maintenance.
