Request, a new node type for MQTT based inter-nodered communication

General
1

I need frequently move from computer to another, and node-red dashboard is a quick way to get a decent website up.

I can write MQTT nodes on both sides, but reinventing the wheel again and again feels a bit tiresome.

WHat I'd like to have, is some way to tell the other nodered stuff to do. A bit like firmata. Like a generic mqtt receiver which takes commands to run or stuff to show on dashboard.

Interesting idea. Couple of possible issues though:

  1. DANGEROUS! :slight_smile: Since Node-RED is a general-purpose compute engine, you would need to be super cautious about using such a capability.
  2. COMPLEX! How would this practically work? Node-RED can do almost anything, Firmata has a set number of actions I think.
