Control a Piglow using Node-RED

Control a Piglow using Node-RED

By taking advantage of the node-piglow module, you can now control your Piglow using Node-RED.

Steps

  1. Install the node-piglow module: npm install node-piglow should do it.
  2. Add node-piglow to the node-red settings.js in the functionGlobalContext: functionGlobalContext: { piglow:require('piglow') }
  3. Launch Node-RED and add the flow below and start hacking! Check out the documentation here to see what you can do.
