Hi everyone,  
I'm setting up a training substation with IEC61850 and was hoping to use Node-red as a remote HMI for operating the circuit breakers via MMS.

I see there is another topic that has asked this question before but it was a few years ago and is now closed.

I found that there is an [NPM binding](https://www.npmjs.com/package/iec61850?activeTab=code) of libiec61850 which I was trying to install, but the gyp file has different locations of the header files than my install. I also can't find the original repo to clone or fork it and modify what I need.

Has anyone had any luck getting MMS on Node-Red? If so, how did you do it?

You probably need to compile the binary and put it in the specified location on your machine before you install this node
