Installation

Instructions for testing a node module locally can be found here.

The node can be found in npm. To install it, go to your node red directory (usually ~./node-red) and use the following command:

Note that you will need to restart Node-RED before the node will be loaded. On Raspberry Pi, you can do this with:

node-red-stop && node-red-start

Configuration

All configuration of the node can be done through the Node-RED UI.

See the node's Node Help page within Node-RED for more details/defaults.
