This looks cool and I love IoT so I wish I could figure out what it does!<p>The screenshot looks like it might give me a hint except it's too small to read and I can't figure out how to enlarge it if that's possible.<p>>It [...] makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range nodes in the palette.<p>Right, well does that mean? Is this a visual programming language? An IFTT or YQL-like service?<p>I know that I can read the getting started guide but that tells me how to install the software and how to create my first flow from a quick look at it, and I am not going to spend more time now, except for ranting here :-)
Node-Red is one of the most useful applications that I have installed recently.<p>In my case, I have several low cost wireless temperature measuring sensors (<a href="http://shop.ciseco.co.uk" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ciseco.co.uk</a>) mixing data with an openweathermap feed sending data to emoncms and other systems. Also connected are wireless buttons (ciseco again) on the washing machine linked to node-red that sends a pushbullet alert when the timer is up.<p>As has been said - check out the flows website for examples.
