Hi, I have developed a windows based MQTT rules engine, scheduler, scripting language etc for home automation and more - linking off the shelf and home-brew hardware in a common and extendable rules engine, which is working well…
I have been using Node-Red Dashboard as a temporary solution as a dashboard interface, but it is really clunky and tedious for anything but the simplest of use cases.
HRD on the other hand looks FAR better - much more of the sort of comprehensive IDE I am after, but I cannot find a simple example of using the MQTT device to manipulate controls and text - and send button events back to MQTT…
I can do all the data formatting and parsing in my application to avoid any coding at all in Node Red, and I am looking for the simplest way to connect your controls to MQTT topics as possible, as all the hard processing is already done - like converting all Boolean type values to true/false internally - and I can set my endpoints to send whatever is required as true/false values, or scale 0-100 percent values to 2 - 254 and so on…
Is there a super simple example of MQTT to (HRD controls) anywhere? - I much prefer documents to YouTube videos, personally - but I’ll go with whatever there is just to get this started!
Many thanks for creating and sharing what looks like an amazing project already.
