Display Wireless AC Current Sensor readings in Node Red Dashboard

Dashboard
1

Hi, I am trying display the data of Wireless AC Sensor used to monitor AC current fluctuation in PVC manufacturing company,
As I am using the desktop client for node red.
Instead MQTT I need some suggestions about the other tools through which we will be able to receive data of wireless sensor in node red and display the data in dashboard.

Note: Right now I am connecting the wireless sensor serially with esp8266 and monitoring the data through Arduino IDE serial monitor screen only.

use modbus tcp maybe?

turn off the arduino IDE - and then just use a serial in node in Node-RED (connected to a debug node to start with) configured to point at the same port and baud rate as the IDE was previously.
