Node-RED

Node-RED only runs if there are flows: otherwise it does not start at boot and uses no memory. When you open it with Admin, it starts by itself. Opening it then takes about 30 seconds.

Access and Login:

The interface is accessible through a dedicated login screen. There, you log in with the username and password of a nomos user account in the "admin" group whose Node-RED permission is set to Full Access (the default for administrators). There is no separate integrator account for this.

Features:

Node-RED offers the following capabilities:

• Creating automation flows using simple drag-and-drop elements.
• Managing connections and data flows between different devices and services in the nomos system.
• Integrating APIs and external services for advanced automations and scenarios.

For developers: Versions, nodes, blocked functions and an example flow for the node-red-contrib-nomos plugin are described in the developer handbook under Node-RED.

WARNING

Important Note:

The configuration and use of Node-RED should only be performed by trained integrators. In-depth expertise is required to configure the system correctly and safely.

Node-RED Interface

Here you see the main interface of Node-RED when a user accesses the area. Integrators can create various flows and automations here.

Features of the Node-RED Interface:

• Left Column: A list of available functions and nomos components (such as motion sensors, temperature sensors, window contacts) that can be dragged and dropped into the flow.
• Right Area: Information about the current flow and its configuration.
• Central Workspace: The place where flows and automations are created and configured. Different blocks (nodes) can be connected here to create automated processes.

WARNING

Note:

• Important Note: This tool is intended solely for integrators who have experience with automation and programming processes. Careless use can lead to malfunctions.
