There are a couple of older threads that touch on this. They may be of help:

> [@Microphone access from Dashboard](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/microphone-access-from-dashboard/3746/2):

> Hi Sandra, You didn't say which microphone node you are using, so I went looking for what is available in the flows library... it looks like the [node-red-contrib-browser-utils](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-browser-utils) provides a dashboard widget the start/stop button built-in: Microphone The browser starts recording after the button next to the node is clicked and stops it when the button is clicked again. The node outputs it as a WAV buffer.

> [@Override Trigger-Button](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/override-trigger-button/642):
>
> Hi there, is there a possibility to trigger a trigger-button (e.g. “Inject”-node, …) from extern? Via http/mqtt/flow-variable/… I agree, everyone should reword his flow to trigger an event on specific time, instead of such goofiness, but my used node (node-red-contrib-browser-utils/microphone) just provide such an trigger-button at node, instead of an input to trigger it via button or else. To modify the .html of this node gave me no luck.
