    Hello everyone,

    Which nodes are available?
    Can we install external nodes from the Node-RED library? (E.g.: Modbus or ftp)

    Thanks in advance,

    Ricardo, any node make sure your running AEP 1.2.2 as it has NPM included 1.1.2 doesn’t.

    In terms of Modbus we have this version running on-site for 1 month with 40 LoRaWAN sensors https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-modbus

    Be careful the AEP is an ARM7 and installing and running a lot of custom nodes can slow the AEP down.

    Sean are these nodes you have written yourself ? if so have you packaged them as per http://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/packaging if so or they are nodes then it’s simple case of NPN install package name as you would do if you were running Node-RED on a PC or Raspberry PI.

    You can also use the old pre NPM method and copy your nodes to /opt/node-red/nodes and then re-start AEP.

    Also be aware custom nodes are not preserved on AEP firmware update.
