What even Is this? It doesn't do a good job at explaining itself!

- taifun 12y agoHere's a guy who's done a pretty cool project with Node-RED, an Arduino, a Raspberry PI and Minecraft: http://blogg.bouvet.no/2014/08/04/node-red-how-it-simplifed-my-iot-project-and-how-you-can-rapidly-prototype-for-the-internet-of-things/ http://blogg.bouvet.no/2014/08/04/node-red-how-it-simplifed-...
- kitd 12y agoIt is an IBM-sponsored integration tool, with a focus on small IOT-type devices and REST APIs (though it doesn't preclude anything else you can write a JS connector for). It's based on Node.js and is intended to be run on-premise (or even embedded).
- wastedhours 12y agoLike a more hardware focused IFTTT?
- kitd 12y agoWell, the hardware focus is part of it, but the flow of data between the activity blocks can be as convoluted as you want, rather than simply "IF this THEN that" (granted I don't know IFTTT well enough to know how convoluted it can be). Not sure if that helps. FWIW, I'm not associated with the project but I have had some exposure to it.
- joezydeco 12y ago"Small devices" and "Node.js" seem to be kind of orthogonal in my view.
