A comprehensive collection of custom nodes for interfacing with Fusebox automation controllers - data streams, energy management, and utilities

npm install @janart19/node-red-fusebox

Fusebox Nodes for Node-RED

This repository contains various custom nodes to interface with Uniflex Systems (tailored for Fusebox) automation controllers, allowing for reading, writing, performing calculations, and other operations on the controller's data streams.

Features

  • Query data stream values from automation controllers
  • Save data stream values to automation controllers
  • Perform calculations on data stream values, incl. boolean operations
  • Support for multiple controllers

Requirements

  • Node-RED ≥ 4.0.0
  • Node.js ≥ 16
  • Access to a Fusebox automation controller (for controller-backed nodes)

Important Note

This node is still in beta and might include bugs. Any feedback is welcome.

Installation

From Node-RED Palette Manager

  1. Open Node-RED editor
  2. Go to Menu → Manage palette → Install
  3. Search for @janart19/node-red-fusebox
  4. Click Install

From Command Line

Run in your Node-RED user directory (typically ~/.node-red):

npm install @janart19/node-red-fusebox

Quick Start

1. Configure a Controller

  • Add any fusebox-* node to your flow
  • Open the node's configuration dialog
  • Click the pencil icon next to "Controller"
  • Enter your Fusebox controller's connection details (IP, port)
  • Click "Add"

2. Query Data Streams

  • Add a fusebox-query-data-streams node
  • Select your controller configuration
  • Connect an inject node to trigger queries
  • Connect a debug node to see output
  • Deploy and test

3. Build Logic with Utilities

  • Use fusebox-boolean-logic for conditional operations
  • Add fusebox-averager for smooth sensor readings
  • Implement fusebox-pid-controller for custom control loops

4. Set Up Energy Management

  • Add a fusebox-inverter-control node
  • Configure power limits and communication settings
  • Connect to grid frequency and power measurements
  • Enable grid support features as needed
