npm install node-red-contrib-remoteRemote-RED is an ecosystem to bring remote access, push notification and geofencing to Node-RED. There are also additional functions like directly answer on a notification and homescreen widgets. It consists of several parts:
- node-red-contrib-remote: The Node-RED nodes of Remote-RED. Published in this repro.
- Remote-RED servers: Several servers used for proxying the remote access traffic and sending push notifications.
- Remote-RED apps: Apps to access the services published by the Remote-RED remote-access node and receiving the push notifications of the remote-notification node. Available or Android, iOS and iPadOS.
You can install the Remote-RED nodes through the Node-RED library. Search for 'node-red-contrib-remote'.
You can install them from the Google PlayStore or Apple AppStore:
There is a help page describing how the the nodes work together and how to connect the apps.
You will find more information on www.remote-red-com. You can contact me by mail through info@remote-red.com.
