Node-RED is a flow-based development tool for visual programming. Node-RED is used to build business flows in censhare and cenTaur. cenTaur uses Node-RED for event-triggered actions on assets. Inside centaur, Node-RED runs as a microservice
In a cenTaur cluster, the Node-RED microservice is deployed together with all other microservices. To access the visual editor and develop custom flows, the Node-RED manager is required. The Node-RED manager is also deployed as a microservice together with all other microservices.
Introduction
For development purposes, you can set up a local Node-RED server, install the cenTaur-specific nodes and configurations, and import the flows.json. The following sections describe the setup.
