Runs node-red on pimatic

Features

Run the node-red engine embedded in pimatic. This enables the use of node-red flow directly integrated into the pimatic framework. The following nodes are available:

  • variable in listens for changes on the given variable and send a msg where msg.payload contains the new value of the variable. Use this node to capture changes on devices. They are variables too. Navigate to /#variables-page on you pimatic web interface to see them.
  • allvariables in listens for changes on the any variable and send a msg where msg.payload contains the new value of the variable and msg.variable the name of the variable.
  • device out Calls the given action on the given device whenever a msg is received. Use this to switch devices on or off for example.
  • variable out Set the value of the specified variable to the value of msg.payload.

Issues

  1. Node-red runs in it's own server. I did not manage to get the websocket running on the pimatic server. UI and the engine do work!
