A collection of extra nodes for Node-RED, extending its capabilities with hardware, I/O, social, storage, and utility functions.
Node-RED Nodes is a collection of additional nodes for the Node-RED visual programming tool. It extends Node-RED's core functionality with pre-built components for hardware control, data processing, communication protocols, and service integrations. These nodes solve the problem of having to write custom code for common IoT and automation tasks, providing ready-to-use functionality.
Node-RED users, IoT developers, and automation engineers who need to quickly integrate hardware, services, or data sources into their flow-based applications without developing custom nodes from scratch.
Developers choose Node-RED Nodes because it offers a wide variety of community-maintained, pre-built nodes that significantly reduce development time. It provides reliable, tested integrations for popular hardware platforms, communication protocols, and cloud services, all within the familiar Node-RED environment.
Extra nodes for Node-RED
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes nodes for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, and sensors like NeoPixels, enabling rapid IoT prototyping without custom firmware development.
Provides pre-built nodes for email, Twilio, MQ Light, and social platforms like Twitter and IRC, simplifying connectivity to common services.
Nodes are available as individual npm packages, allowing selective installation and leveraging community contributions for diverse use cases.
Offers nodes for parsing (base64, geohash), analysis (swear filter, part-of-speech), and control (PID, smoothing), adding functionality without coding.
Some nodes are deprecated (e.g., NMA) or have breaking changes (Twitter API removal), and quality varies due to community contributions without central oversight.
The MySQL node explicitly allows SQL injection, and other nodes may lack security audits, posing risks in sensitive applications.
Nodes like Twitter and push notifications rely on third-party APIs that can be discontinued, potentially breaking workflows without warning.
