In the current nightlies you might have noticed a huge new feature: Node-BLUE now supported Node-RED nodes. There have been tons of changes to Node-BLUE in the last two months, let me try to give a short overview:
- We updated the frontend to Node-RED 1.2.7
- Node-RED nodes can now be installed from the palette
- We developed a new Node.js module “homegear-nodejs” (installable via npm) to communicate with Homegear over IPC
- Homegear now provides a full-featured Node.js server
- Node-BLUE errors are now sent to debug tab
- New Catch node
- New Status node
- New JavaScript node
- We implemented nodes to create elements in Homegear’s UI
- The Template node now supports retrieval of device variable values
- Node-RED HTML files are now compatible to Node-BLUE
- Node-BLUE node installation from palette now works on all Linux distributions
- Node-BLUE nodes don’t require a central repository anymore
- Tons of bugfixes and small changes
Have fun playing aroung with these new features!
