Introduction[Bearbeiten]

Node-RED is a graphical development tool. With Node-RED, use cases for the Internet of Things can be implemented according to a simple modular principle. In Node-RED there are so-called "nodes" which look like as follows. Each node fulfills a certain function e.g. making a HTTP-request.
