Node-RED Dashboard 2.0 Switchboard

Compact Node-RED Dashboard 2.0 control-panel widgets inspired by sourcesimian/mqtt-panel.

This package provides Dashboard widgets only. It does not connect to MQTT directly; Node-RED flows should own MQTT input/output, retained messages, transforms, and automations.

Nodes

• switchboard text: display text values, optionally editable
• switchboard button: emit a configured command value
• switchboard switch: cycle through configured states
• switchboard select: choose one configured state from a dialog, optionally as a button
• switchboard fader: edit a numeric range value, or display it as a gauge
• switchboard lamp: display a mapped state
• switchboard image: display an image URL, optionally as a button
• switchboard iframe: embed a URL

See MANUAL.md for configuration details and examples.

Example Flow

Import examples/demo-flow.json into Node-RED for a dashboard that demonstrates every widget mode, including delayed feedback for interactive widgets.

Import examples/switchboard-dark-theme.json if you only want the reusable Dashboard 2.0 switchboard: Dark theme.

Build

npm install
npm run build

The build writes the Dashboard bundle to resources/ui-switchboard.umd.js.

Local Development With Make

This repository keeps a disposable Node-RED user directory in _node_red.

make setup
make link
make run

Then open:

http://127.0.0.1:1880/

make setup installs Node-RED, Dashboard 2.0, and MQTT support into _node_red. make link builds this package and symlinks it into _node_red/node_modules as node-red-contrib-dashboard-2-switchboard.

Install Locally Into Node-RED

From your Node-RED user directory:

npm install /path/to/node-red-contrib-dashboard-2-switchboard

Restart Node-RED, then add Switchboard nodes from the palette.
