Architecture

IBM Bluemix Demo with Anki Overdrive Cars

A visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things

Tooling is key to the success of IoT

• Internet of Things solutions often require pulling together different device APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.

• Time spent figuring out how to access a Serial port, or to complete an OAuth flow against Twitter is not time spent on creating the real value of a solution.

• We need tools that make it easier for developers at all levels to bring together the different streams of events, both physical and digital, that make up the Internet of Things.

Node-RED makes it easy to wire together theInternet of Things

• It provides a browser-based UI for designing flows of events.

• These flows are then deployed to its light-weight node.js runtime.

• Can be run in edge-of-network environments or the cloud.

• It can be easily expanded to take add new nodes to the palette – taking full advantage of the node package manager (npm) ecosystem

Open Source Development

• On GitHub since September 2013

• Apache 2 License• 35+ non-IBM contributors• http://nodered.org• http://flows.nodered.org

Node-RED + IBM Bluemix

• Node-RED/CloudOE Demo won 2013 2Q Cloud Hackday

• Now provided as a boilerplate/quick start application in Bluemix

• One-click install of Node-RED instances

• Bluemix-aware nodes connect to bound services
