Hi OptoFans, especially those who Node-RED,
What Nodes (besides our SNAP and groov nodes) are you using?
Here’s some especially popular ones I’ve seen in practice:
- Various databases (which do you use?)
- Ping
- Email (both send and receive)
- Modbus (read/write)
We’ve provided various notes and tools on getting info to/from various MSP (managed service provider) and cloud offerings, e.g:
- AT&T’s M2X: http://documents.opto22.com/2216_Connect_Real-world_Data_to_an_AT&T_M2X_Device_Technical_Note.pdf
- IBM’s Watson: http://documents.opto22.com/2198_Connect_Industrial_Devices_to_IBM_Watson_IoT_Tech_Note.pdf
- Microsoft’s Azure: NODE RED to Azure IoT Hub - streaming data from SNAP PAC R1 to Azure IoT Hub
- Weather Underground: http://documents.opto22.com/2232_OptoTutorial_groov_Node_RED_Weather_App_Quick_Start.pdf
Even before Node-RED we were moving data to various public and private clouds, especially with our EMU (Energy Monitoring Unit) to services like eSight Energy and Pulse Energy, but also:
- Custom cloud-based server: http://www.opto22.com/documents/casestudies/2218_Application_Brief_Perceptive_Controls.pdf
- My favorite, pour-your-own beer application: Adventures of an Applications Engineer - Part 2
Now I’m seeing more cloud-based MSPs like:
Where are you getting/sending/keeping your data?
Are you using Node-RED for that? PAC Control’s HttpPOST / GET commands? (Or maybe tcp comm handles from before that?)
Do share!
Thanks,
Mary
