Newbie – Need pointing in the right direction

[aaron.oneill@technologysolutions.co.uk]

Hi

I have received a Conduit starter kit from our suppliers on a loan/demo basis.

I have a simple project in mind to complete, but would like some information on the best place to start, if possible?

The plan is to have the dots configured with a momentary push button connected. Which when pressed will need to be received by the gateway and in turn send an HTTP command to a 3rd party IP Device.

Not sure if i need to use node red or if there is another way of doing this. I have ran the demo node red in the kit with the supplied handheld and as expected the message payload comes through in the debug window. How do i sreconfigure this to send a http command to a third party device?

I think once i get my head round the basics i should be ok to duplicate this to the dots and do some field testing.

Any help or links to help would be appreciated.

Thanks
aaron

This example could be modified.

Connect Node-RED to Any Cloud Service’s REST API

node.js, python or c++ could be used with mqtt and http libraries to create an application without node-red.

Hi Aaron
Should be a simple one for you. Drag a HTTP node over to the pallet and drop below the debug node thats showing you the out put.
Connect it to the same out put from the previous node and configure the node to your destination.
