Hey everyone,

I'm new to Node-RED, my aim is to develop decisions logics on node-red.

Is this possible on node-RED platform? If yes, how and where do i start?

Thank you all

Welcome to the forum.

You would have to start by explaining what you mean by decisions logic.

You would then watch the [Node red Essentials](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyNBB9VCLmo1hyO-4fIZ08gqFcXBkHy-6) videos.

To want to make decisions based on some conditions on node-RED, deploy it on raspberry pi and ingest live IoT data .

Your question is too simplistic.

So the simple answer is yes.

If you want an idea of what node-red can do, read the forum posts, look at the cookbook examples, look the flow library.

When it comes to IoT and what node-red can do, the answer is almost anything you want.

You would be better off asking a specific question.

A large percentage of the people using Node-RED and the people on this forum are doing exactly that.

Whether it is for controlling lighting or heating, greenhouses, garden watering, ....

One of the originators of Node-RED once created a drone controller using Node-RED 🙂

I remember that a few of us joked about creating drone-based video doorbell's - someone approaches the door or presses the bell and a drone takes off navigates round and video's them 🤣

Thanks steve,

My interest is the IBM ODM decision services to make diecisions on where to process and stored IoT  
data.
