About

Hi There!

I’m Gerrit and I created this blog using Node-RED, mostly as an experiment.

Besides creating this blog in Node-RED, I also created FlowHub.org using Node-RED.

Node-RED Vitae

My largest flow codebase is FlowHub.org which is a platform for organising flow code. Using the Node-RED integration, I can then pull, compare and push my flow code all from within Node-RED.

FlowHub is my solution for organising and coordinating a large collection of interdependent flows. It underscores my Node-RED focus, exploring solutions to make Node-RED more accessible and usable for a broader audience:

I have had a look into integrating AI into Node-RED. Here Node-RED acts as a talk-show host between two AI models trapped into a conversation.

All the flow links above are hosted by FlowHub.org, demonstrating another aim of FlowHub: to make flow documentation accessible. The documentation shown is stored in the flow using the tab description attribute of the flow.

My very first Node-RED project was Red-Back: Node-RED as a Backend - for those not familiar, a reference to Redback spiders. I was very proud of creating an API backend for a Python frontend which also resolved my initial Node-RED quandary: what to do with it if you don’t want to automate your home and you don’t work in an IIoT environment?
