Pi4 is at home, I just put the pieces together, but have not installed it yet nor have copied any image. Pi3 is working so fine that I don?t want to mess things up.

Alan, for some strange reason this flow is not working for me. I imported it and I get nothing in dashboard. Curious.

Hi Alan!, long time. I was missing in action due to work and family commitments but I?m back. Thanks for this flow, just imported it and its working fine.

I have built a Node-Red based listener to import data from W1TR's HF-Auto application. Data includes; CAT Frequency, CAT Source, Tuner Frequency, Tuner Mode, Selected Tuner Antenna, C Value, L Value, Max Power, Peak Power, Average Power, SWR, Average SWR, and more. Requires configuration of the UDP broadcasts within HF-Auto Application. Flow includes a user interface that can be modified to your specific needs. All variables are available to other flows as global variables. Requires configuring the UDP broadcasts from HF-Auto.? Select an IP address of your device running Node-Red or multicast IP that works on your network.: <Screen Shot 2020-09-09 at 6.33.07 PM.png>
Here is a screen-shot of the HF-Auto Dashboard with all of the available variables. You could easily adapt these to your dashboard needs: Here is a screenshot of how I have adapted HF-Auto into my station control dashboard:

Re: FRStackWebApi Version 3.1.20.45 for RPi, Linux and OSX
Meter level mute is only a FRStack for Windows feature as it utilizes the FRStack UI to set the levels. It would be problematic to combine a fast enough node-red UI and level set to make it easy to use.
Note: Once .NET 5+ adds WPF framework support for Linux and OS X platforms I plan on releasing FRStack for Linux and OSX.
Regards, Mark

Use these nodes in your flow, from Mark's "Radio" flow, to get the Radio Info data. ?

Most, if not all, of the Flex Status Variables, are set up and available as global and/or flow variables in Node-Red, via FRStack.
I have been using the "Change Node" to access the variables and in some cases, using the commands get.flow ("variable.X") or get.global("variable.X") within functions.
You can see a list of the flow and global variables by selecting the "Context Data" on the far right side viewer (it usually?hidden, so click on the "down" button").? Be sure to click on the "refresh" button to see the current content.?

The Genovation keypad I have here is a 24 button pad that connects via RS-232. You can program the keypad to send keyboard macros. For example program button 1 to send 1 (hex 31). Then have Node Red read into from that com port and send status to FRStack for that button push.?

I made an interface to the SteppIR SDA100 controller, using the above tools. It can be configured for CAT or no CAT, Yagi or Vertical, and RX slice or a specific slice to follow. It will allow the operator to manually send the flex frequency to the SDA100, or have the flow send it automatically. Backgrounds change color based on antenna movement, based on frequency deviations, and based on some confirmed commands received by the SDA100.
FRStack and the Node-Red flow will work with multiplex with one or two clients. The Flex Frequency source TX slice, or selected slice, will be from the "bound" client. There is a separate flow available to select/change the bound client if you want, but not mandatory. I am using an RS232 (DB9) to USB FTDI cable between the SDA Data Out and the Raspberry Pi USB connection. If you also have the CAT control cable installed, to use "Transceiver Data" directly from the Flex Server to the SDA100, you can still use this flow to send commands to the SDA100 and receive all of the data variables for display. Bands can be sent directly to the SDA 100 from the flow to drive the SteppIR. There are "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the SteppIR frequency up or down in small increments. "Resend" of commands is built into FRStack to compensate for the SDA100 controller to sometimes not accept commands. Here is a screenshot of my dashboard for the BigIR:
And here is a dashboard screenshot of the Full set of commands and data variables:
