This is a blog entry from 2016 that I’ve just updated.. In an even earlier entry the subject of Node-Red Dashboard, you’ll see I can hide that top menu if needed (the blue menu is great on a phone – not much use on a thermostat)… and then I discovered…

November Quickie – Stress – TDM and ESP-GO
A few simples notes on probably my pet project and also some work that Antonio and I have been doing recently including a quick stress test for the Pi4, for those concerned about heat… remember I wrote about a combined heatsink/case? With this: sudo apt-get install stresswhile true; do vcgencmd…
Node-RED Global Flow and Context
There’s a mouthful. This short article is about the various kinds of variables used in Node-Red and more importantly how to initialise them and how to view them. So in Node-Red when you want to use variables – there are three basic types as well as local variables. So for…
Thermometers
Three thermometers in a row for Node-Red (or as many or few as you like really) for Node-Red Dashboard. Another fine example of simple gauges and unlike some it is easy to make multiple gauges on one page – I will demonstrate three. Here is the library source, I grabbed…
LCD Display for Node-Red
As must be obvious by now, I’m on a roll here. Having decided that Node-Red Dashboard is the way forward ( would in the past have used BLYNK or Imperihome) I’ve been getting to grips with the dashboard and as you’ll see if you check recent blogs I’ve had a…

You should read the previous blog entry before this one – as the principles are the same as are some of the details such as the location of your /myjs folder for Node-Red – so read the other article first. This guage IMHO is the best yet! To run the…
The Ongoing Knob
I refer you to this article if you’re new in here – https://tech.scargill.net/more-dashboard-goodness/ – we’ve been having a lively discussion and lots of exciting new possibilities coming out of a chance discovery of the JQUERY KNOB and what is now our ability to integrate that with Node-Red. The purpose of…
Node-Red Dashboard Thoughts
Or put another way – how to use Node-Red Dashboard without a mouse cursor or a menu – on a touch screen. I’ve been playing with the touch-LCD screen on a Raspberry Pi – this was a Chinese one – quite cheap.. “5 inch HDMI LCD V2” – an 800*480…
A Little Dashboard Something
Something for the weekend sir? How about a simple means to get visual and tactile feedback from node-red-dashboard buttons? Or rather than large buttons – icons you may create or obtain yourself in a node-red-dashboard template. To backtrack: For my own home control endeavours, I’ve been using a number of…
