Hi All, I am new to node red and am currently trying to use it as a gateway connection from a MS SQL server to Niagara 4, With the purpose of writing data from the MS SQL to the Niagara 4 station.

Currently I have successfully connected to the MS SQL server using node-red-contrib-mssql-plus and am running queries succesfully

I have also successfully connected to my Niagara 4 station using node-red-contrib-obix-niagara-connector and am writing to a numeric value successfully

Where i need help is how do i connect the two to push the data from the query to my Niagara 4 bix connection ?

Below is my flow, Currently the data being written to my Niagara 4 station is whatever the value is setup in the connector

Thankyou for anyone that can help !

Welcome to the forums @nick.494 - Sorry for the delayed response, the community is a little more tied up in the summer with family commitments

The way I will tackle this, is as follows.  
You have connected the query output to a debug Node right?

So why not connect the query output to a `change` or `function` node - massage the data, and connect your massaged data to the `niagara` Node.

It of course does help if you know a thing about javascript and its Object-oriented nature.

Don't overthink it - think of Node RED as passing objects between nodes (and being able to do things at each node).

You will need to understand the `niagara` node, and massage the returned query to fit as necessary according to the read me of `niagara`
