Hi I just created this forum post today. Can you use Python at all? Run a Flask App along side Node Red? [BACnet data read, write, release from Node Red via Rest](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/bacnet-data-read-write-release-from-node-red-via-rest/50068)

I am curious if this would help the Node Red community at all... Let me know if I can help out at all. Feel free to submit a git issue on the repo link to the Flask restful bacnet, I can at least help getting someone started out with Python web app. You would just need to make http GET requests from Node Red to the Flask App to get the BACnet data via rest API calls.
