RE: Connect to AVNET iotconnect.io with Node-RED - part 4: set up Node-RED and first exchange

I've added the final Node-RED code to the post.

If you want to reuse it, import it.

Then correct the CPID and Unique ID in the Connection node and all upstream nodes.

If you use the same Unique ID as me in your exercise, only change the CPID in the Connect node.

RE: Connect to AVNET iotconnect.io with Node-RED - part 4: set up Node-RED and first exchange

Jan Cumps — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 19:35:17 GMT

What my post does not show, is that this works well together with the common Node-RED components:

[View:/resized-image/__size/620x80/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-00070958-2be8-457f-be2e-ad3b476e09a1/1104.contentimage_5F00_207849.png:620:80]

The payload does not have to come from the bespoke IotConnect injector. You can keep it empty and feed it with a payload:

[View:/resized-image/__size/193x168/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-00070958-2be8-457f-be2e-ad3b476e09a1/0508.contentimage_5F00_207850.png:193:168]

The payload in my little demo here comes as a JSON message from a generic component. In this case a plain Node-RED injector:

[View:/resized-image/__size/620x132/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-00070958-2be8-457f-be2e-ad3b476e09a1/3731.contentimage_5F00_207851.png:620:132]

but it could come from any Node-RED source.
