Node-RED Nodes
A collection of nodes for Node-RED. See below for a list.
Installation
Many of these nodes are available as an npm package. See the respective README.md for the npm package name.
To manually install using this repo:
- cd into the
nodes
directory of Node-RED - Either:
- download the zip of the repository and extract it
- run
git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red-nodes.git
- npm install in any of the node subfolders to install individual node's dependencies
This is all too manual, so the sooner we npm-enable this stuff the better
Contributing
See the Contributing Guide of the node-red project.
The key points are:
- try to follow the conventions we use (all undocumented at the moment just to make it interesting)
- focus on the UX of the node - make it simple to do simple things and simple to do advanced things. Don't force a user wanting to do simple things have to wade through the advanced things.
- avoid duplication

Extra Node Information
Analysis
72-wordpos - Analyses the payload and classifies the part-of-speech of each word. The resulting message has msg.pos added with the results. A word may appear in multiple categories (eg, 'great' is both a noun and an adjective).
74-swearfilter - Analyses the payload and tries to filter out any messages containing bad swear words. This only operates on payloads of type string. Everything else is blocked.
Hardware
37-rpi-piface - Adds support for the PiFace interface module for Raspberry Pi.
38-rpi-pibrella - Controls a Pibrella add-on board for a Raspberry-Pi.
39-rpi-piliter - Controls a Pimorini Pi-LITEr 8 LED add-on board for a Raspberry-Pi.
42-makey - A Node-RED node to read from a MakeyMakey input device.
60-wemo - Basic node to drive a WeMo socket and switch. Does not use discovery.
76-blinkstick - Provides support for the BlinkStick USB LED device.
77-blink1 - Provides support for the Blink1 USB LED from ThingM.
78-ledborg - A simple driver for the LEDborg plug on module for Raspberry Pi.
78-digiRGB - Provides support for the DigiSpark RGB USB LED.
79-sensorTag - Reads data from the Ti Bluetooh Low Energy (BLE) SensorTag device.
100-heatmiser-in - Writes settings for temperature and frost protection to Heatmiser thermostats.
101-heatmiser-out - Reads settings from Heatmiser thermostats at a polling interval.
101-scanBLE - Scans for a particular Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device.
103-hue_discover - Looks for a Philips Hue Bridge in the local network.
104-hue_manag - Implements some basic functionality for managing a Philips Hue wireless Lamp system.
145-BBB-hardware - A collection of analogue & digital input & output nodes for the Beaglebone Black.
IO
18-stomp - A Node-RED node to publish and subscribe to and from a STOMP server.
26-rawserial - Only really needed for Windows boxes without serialport npm module installed. Uses a simple read of the serial port as a file to input data. You must set the baud rate etc externally before starting Node-RED. This node does not implement pooling of connections so only one instance of each port may be used - so in or out but not both.
39-wol - Sends a Wake-On-LAN magic packet to the mac address specified. You may instead set msg.mac to dynamically set the target device mac to wake up.
88-ping - Pings a machine and returns the trip time in mS. Returns false if no response received within 3 seconds, or if the host is unresolveable. Default ping is every 20 seconds but can be configured.
88-emoncms - Adds node to post to an Emoncms server.
Social
55-dweetio - Uses dweetio to send/receive messages.
56-twilio - Uses Twilio service to send/receive text messages.
57-nma - Sends alerts to Android devices via the Notify-My-Android app.
57-notify - Uses Growl to provide a desktop popup containing the payload. Only useful on the local Apple machine.
57-prowl - Uses Prowl to push the payload to an Apple device that has the Prowl app installed.
57-pushbullet - Uses PushBullet to push the payload to an Android device that has the PushBullet app installed.
57-pushover - Sends alerts via Pushover.
69-mpd - MPD music control nodes. Output node expects payload to be a valid mpc command. Currently only simple commands that expect no reply are supported. Input node creates a payload object with Artist, Album, Title, Genre and Date.
79-snapchat - Downloads SnapChat images from the account specified.
92-xmpp - Connects to an XMPP server to send and receive messages.
114-pusher - Publish-Subscribe to a Pusher channel/event.
Storage
67-leveldb - Uses LevelDB for a simple key value pair database.
68-mysql - Allows basic access to a MySQL database. This node uses the query operation against the configured database. This does allow both INSERTS and DELETES. By it's very nature it allows SQL injection... so be careful out there...
69-ddbout - Support output to Amazon DynamoDB.
110-postgres - PostgreSql I/O node.
sqlite - Supports read and write to a local sqlite database.
Time
79-suncalc - Uses the suncalc module to generate an output at sunrise and sunset based on a specified location. Several choices of definition of sunrise and sunset are available,
Misc
99-sample - A sample node with more comments than most to try to help you get started without any other docs...
