Node-RED

A visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things.

Quick Start

Check out INSTALL for full instructions on getting started.

download the zip and unzip, or git clone
cd node-red
npm install
node red.js
Open http://localhost:1880

Browser Support

The Node-RED editor runs in the browser. We routinely develop and test using Chrome and Firefox. We have anecdotal evidence that it works in IE9.

We do not yet support mobile browsers, although that is high on our priority list.

Reporting issues

Please raise any bug reports or feature requests on the project's issue tracker. Be sure to search the list to see if your issue has already been raised.

Creating new nodes

The plugin nature of Node-RED means anyone can create a new node to extend its capabilities. Eventually, the nodes will be npm-installable, but we're not there yet.

Pull-Requests

In order for us to accept pull-requests, the contributor must first complete a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). This clarifies the intellectual property license granted with any contribution.

We'll add some information on how to do this in the next few days.
