Node-RED Integration for Flexible and Powerful IoT Automation
Built to Integrate. Designed to Scale.
A Platform Built for Integration and Growth
By combining a secure API, bidirectional data flow, and support for AI and business logic, Sensor-Online enables scalable and future-proof IoT architectures.
The result is an integration-friendly platform where IoT data can be shared, enriched, and reused across the entire organization � securely, efficiently, and without vendor lock-in.
Dedicated Sensor-Online Node for Node-RED
The Sensor-Online node provides a direct and secure connection between Node-RED and the Sensor-Online platform, simplifying access to data and platform services.
- Easy access to live and historical sensor data
- Simple interaction with devices and platform functions
- Rapid development of custom logic and workflows
- Reduced integration and development effort
Leverage the Full Node-RED Ecosystem
By combining Sensor-Online with Node-RED, users gain access to thousands of ready-made nodes for integration, automation, and data processing.
- Use community and commercial Node-RED nodes
- Create complex logic using visual flow-based programming
- Integrate with IT systems, databases, and cloud services
- Rapidly prototype and deploy new functionality
Use the Built-In MQTT Broker with Node-RED
Sensor-Online includes a built-in MQTT broker that can be directly consumed by Node-RED for real-time, event-driven processing.
- Subscribe to live sensor data streams
- Trigger automation flows based on incoming events
- Publish processed or derived data back to the platform
- Enable low-latency and scalable data handling
Modbus Master Integration via Node-RED
Node-RED can act as a Modbus master when integrated with Sensor-Online, enabling communication with PLCs, meters, and industrial devices.
- Read data from Modbus TCP devices
- Write values, setpoints, and control signals
- Combine Modbus data with IoT sensor data
- Bridge industrial OT systems with modern IoT platforms
Swagger-Documented REST API for Full Platform Control
Sensor-Online exposes its full functionality through a Swagger-documented REST API, which can be easily used within Node-RED flows.
- Read and write sensor data via API
- Manage devices, metadata, and configurations
- Integrate analytics and external services
- Create closed-loop automation workflows
This allows API-driven logic to be combined with real-time MQTT and industrial protocols in a single automation flow.
Powerful Customization Without Vendor Lock-In
The combination of Sensor-Online and Node-RED provides maximum flexibility without locking users into proprietary scripting environments.
- Open standards and well-known technologies
- Visual flow-based logic instead of hard-coded scripts
- Easy maintenance and long-term extensibility
- Freedom to tailor each solution to specific project needs
