Configuring a Node-RED Network

About Node-RED "Networks"

Node-RED supports specific IP devices with programs developed by KMC Controls.

Note: Unlike BACnet, only one device is added to a Node-RED “network” during discovery, according to the device information entered. For multiple devices, create multiple Node-RED “networks”.

Before Configuring

Using Node-RED for discovery of devices requires installation of Node-RED, an additional license, and custom programming.

Note: Configuration can also be done through a licensed Node-RED add-on. See the KMC Commander Node-RED Application Guide (see Accessing Other Documents).

Configuring

1. Go to Networks Explorer , then Networks.

2. Select Configure New Network.

3. From the Protocol drop-down menu, select Node-Red.

4. Enter the device name and address information.

5. Enter the device Password.

6. Choose the Device Protocol (Shelly or WiFi_RIB) from the dropdown list.

   Note: Leaving Default selected does nothing.

7. If you are configuring a relay that is bound to a Binary Input, select Relay Bound to BI.

8. Note: For Shelly device protocol, Relay Bound to BI is always selected by default, because Shelly devices are always bound to a Binary Input.

9. Select Save.

10. Continue with Configuring Devices.
