Hi, been using Blynk for a while to connect to my node-red @pi. I'm reviewing moving node-red host to the cloud for better availability and connectivity, as well as more users connecting to the systems I have integrated to node-red. From the front end side of things, Blynk has been great, but cost is too high for what I need so I have been researching other no/low code options and Appy Pie keeps coming up. Has anyone looked at developing apps in Appy Pie for connection to node-red similar to what comes out of box from Blynk? Would include viewing of sensor current state data as well as trending, simple button on/off triggers and app push notifications. Reason for looking at no/low code is lack of development knowledge and skill.
thanks for your feedback!
