INTRODUCTION The main focus of Dashboard 2.0 is rightly, developing dashboards, however I was intrigued to see if it was possible to develop a mobile app using Node-RED and the Dashboard 2.0 nodes. Below are details of the resulting App. It is a generic App for managing items. Each Item has a name…

Normally, when you (at least I) would use a mobile to access Node-RED, I assume the mobile and the server that runs Node-RED would not be on the same network. So don't forget the security...

Thanks @grant1 , uploading an image would make a great enhancement to the app. I did see some reference to uploading images during my journey up the Node-REd/D2.0/Vuetify/VueJS/HTML/Javascript/CSS learning mountain (more than a curve that one). I'll see if I can find it.

I tested it using the file-input v2 dashboard node and it worked great from a mobile phone. It did not allow attachments larger than 1MB, but there are workarounds for that. [image]

Yes The File-input node enables the upload of an image. A concept that took a bit of getting used to is that this uploads it to the node-red flow, NOT to the file system :scream: But makes sense when you better understand Node-Red. The File-Input node produces a Buffer as a payload. Steve's video…

[image] Tim99: Can it be stored in Node-Red Context flow variable Yes that is possible, you can do it in a function node or change node, easily enough.

Very nice! I'm currently building an entire CMMS with node-red and D2. I'm a glutton for punishment.

Sorry I'll have another go at uploading the code.

Whooo @gemini86 that's some project! Can you share the specification/design?

It's for my employer, so I can't share too much... here are some screenshots though. When feature complete, it will have Asset management, work order management and deployment, parts inventory management (including allocating parts to work orders and low inventory notifications), preventative maint…
