Node-RED — Official Links

Low-code flow automation often paired with Signal K on RV and light-marine dashboards. We help integrate and install — we don’t overclaim custom flow productization. Mirror-candidate only after pin + SHA256.

On coaches and light marine

Node-RED is commonly used for dashboard UI, alarms, and bridges between Signal K (and other sensor streams) and displays or notifications. We help integrate and install — we do not sell a proprietary UMRT Node-RED product, and we do not overclaim custom flow productization.

Signal K pairing

Signal K often sits next to Node-RED on coaches and light marine. Start at signalk.org and SignalK/signalk-server (Apache-2.0). See also FOSS. Match plugin versions to upstream docs — we do not invent a supported-stack matrix.

Mirror honesty

Catalog policy is mirror-candidate, not an active mirror. Before any mirrors/ file: clear license, pinned upstream release tag, SHA256 + upstream URL in catalog. No proprietary vendor .bin / .swu. Until then: link only. See Policy.
