Workbench

Connectware ships with a running Node-RED (https://nodered.org) application.

To start working with the prototyping Node-RED Workbench, on the navigation panel click Services and on the sidebar, click Node Red Workbench. This will open the running Node-RED editor for the Workbench in another browser tab.

Further instructions on how to work with Node-RED can be found here: https://nodered.org/docs

For connecting the Node-RED flow to the Connectware API, Connectware can be reached by using the server name connectware both for MQTT (1883) and HTTPS (443) connections.

Additionally, when subscribing or publishing to the Connectware server, a suitable username and password has to be set manually in the Node-RED workbench. You need to ensure that the given user has sufficient permissions (or suitable roles) in order to access the topics in question. See also User Management.
