Pete Scargill has been experimenting with NodeRED for quite some time, mostly in relation to using it as an Internet of Things platform. At the moment, he is using NodeRED as a translator and to trigger speech synthesis. Check out his efforts and work-in-progress here. If you’re into NodeRED and/or alternative programming languages, I recommend subscribing to his blog – it’s informative and always well-written.
