Re: introductions
开云体育Thanks for the kind comments. ?What you see is after one year of working with Node-Red and 11/2 years of Flex 6600 ownership.Without the help of the Flex and “Remote Operations” community, I would not have been able to design the more complex flows…Thanks to Mike, Dave and Andreas. This all started with Mike’s first post on the Flex Community describing his use of Node-Red for remote operations. Below are photos of the various “ Shack” screenshots. ?I use multiplex, so all of the below are running at the same time.

Re: introductions
开云体育Hi Kevin ? Welcome aboard! I just built a Pi from scratch loading the software. Took just over an hour but I was taking notes along the way to make a how-to guide. I have very rough notes if you are interested. Has hyperlinks to the various software. ? Dave wo2x ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Kevin Paus

Re: introductions
Great idea Michael. On my side I'm already using Node Red for:
- Control DCU2 Rotator? - Monitor certain Flex 6300 info - Control DLI Webswitch - Monitor weather at shack and trigger email for Thunder and Rain - Send frequency info to Green Heron Select 8 Antenna Switch and HF Auto Tuner - Monitor internet and connections (separate tab on dashboard) - Complete Weather and Forecast (separate tab on dashboard)? And working on: - Turn off DLI Switch on Thunder reports from weather flow (stuck on it right now) - Temperature sensors for shack (not purchased yet) - Expand radio information and control flows - Incorporate fans at shack (not purchased yet) If I can help anyone on anything please let me know.

Re: Overview
开云体育See my post from before for equipment I have flows for.For power “strips” I use the Digital Loggers Web Switch Pro. 8 individually switchable outlets and two outlets always on. Here is a picture of my dashboard. I am actually adding more stuff and tweaking the dash. You can see the outlet control on the right side.
