I honestly do not know what to think (not about your project / code I hasten to add).

Building Node-Red into a communications gateway seems 'odd' to me - not sure why but maybe it's my inner Linux 😲 creeping out - create a tool to do one job and do it well.

To have an industrial piece of kit that is running out of date software ([Released 2021](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-1-2-9-released/40237)) is concerning esp with one that has wireless access (OK I do not know of any LoRa vulnerabilities but that does not mean they do not exist).

I can see the selling points:

- Pre-process the data before it hits the main network
- One box so less maintenance
- One supplier

but still bothered so I'll not surf their offerings I'm afraid.
