Node-red for pimatic available

---

@Jos-Hendriks said in Node-red for pimatic available:

The pimatic nodes: No. These are hooked directly onto the pimatic framework events. I found this to be the best option to integrate pimatic and node-red. The choice came with the drawback of running node-red as a “container” in pimatic.

I think it would be possible to develop a variant of the nodes types which use a websocket to connect to pimatic instance. It should be possible to get all events via a websocket.

@mwittig @Jos-Hendriks basically websockets are already part of the node red connections. But Then it would be more related to how to progress / filter the message in node red?

@Jos-Hendriks Yes, it’s the error log that I get during the upgrade. I am trying to do a fresh install. So, hopefully that will fix it. Will look into docker, I didn’t know about that.

@Jos-Hendriks Any changes that you can “upgrade” this pimatic plugin to be an “official” plugin for node-red?

No, this definetly is a plugin fo pimatic. We could, however, create a node-red-pimatic plugin. In fact I think we should. Both would have their purpose.
pimatic-node-red, as we have it now, is good for people who know pimatic and are unfamiliar with node-red. But for people like yourself, it makes sense to not have node-red running as part of pimatic.

Version 1.0.6 is available. The dashboard link now works and the port is configurable. Thanks @mwittig!

Thanks.

Works…

@mwittig
The test setup looks now like this:

I still do get the error when hitting deploy…
The parameter device is now receiving the pimatic true / false message for my light switch.
The device action I do not have in a running state yet

But now I try it again but no response…?
