rule.box Digital 2xIn, 2xOut
Monitor and control using Node-RED
Realize automation tasks with the pre-installed graphical development tool Node-RED. Determine the data flow between input, output and processing nodes by dragging connections in the browser-based editor. The digital in- and output signals on the rule.box are available for processing in Node-RED and make it simple to link sensors and actuators. Pre-installed nodes let you read and control Web-IOs, Web Thermometers and Com-Servers from Wiesemann & Theis. The wide range of available pre-installed nodes enables both expansion of the processing functions and linking devices from other manufacturers. The rule.box processes the flows reliably and using little power. Integration of non-public nodes is also possible on request.
