Hi all, I am using Node Red to collect and display data from several units in our company which works fine. In general I am getting data via MQTT for all units and display them. Currently I have about 30 flows on one Node Red Server (one for each unit) which are doing exactly the same of course wi…

If they are so similar is it not possible to combine them onto one flow and use, for example, the mqtt topic, or something similar, to determine exactly what to do? Alternatively (or in conjuction with the above) are you aware of the subflow capability. It may well be ideally suited to what you wan…

Could you post an example of the sort of flow that you have to keep repeating? There may be ways of doing it that you haven't thought of. See this for how to post a flow here.
