Matrix bot nodes for Node-RED

This package contains nodes to send and receive messages as a Matrix node.

Quick usage guide

This package adds 3 node types to Node-RED palette (Matrix section, at the bottom):

• Matrix sender: sends messages from your Node-RED flow to the chatroom
• Matrix receiver: listens to messages in a chatroom and sends them to your Node-RED flow
• Matrix command: listens only to messages starting with a specific command and sends them to your Node-RED flow

All of these nodes require a Matrix Configuration with the following settings:

• User ID: the user ID in the matrix server, for instance @mybot:matrix.org
• Access token: the access token of the user in the matrix server
• Server URL: URL of the Matrix homeserver, e.g. https://matrix.org
• Room ID: ID of the chatroom to join when starting. If no room is specified, it will automatically join any room where it is invited
