Hi all I'm quite new to node-red, looking for a solution for the following task to be done, the basic idea would be: There is a node-red server with a dashboard running on a linux system at home. Any persons (with access) can send photos from their mobile device out of the dashboard to the server…

You could easily use something like Telegram with a bot to achieve this. It would be cross-platform too. @BartButenaers - you might look at using browser storage to keep the browser settings. Could be a cookie or one of the other local storage options.

[image] wym: This will probably not be possible for security reasons on a mobile device Oh, that is no problem. As soon as I open my dashboard, my browser (both on windows and android) shows a popup : he asks you whether the dashboard is allowed to access your camera. If you 'allow' it, I c…

What about dropbox (or similar), it will sync automatically between mobile devices, cloud and node-red. You don't have to open ports to you node-red server that could be a security issue. Just my 2 cents.

@BartButenaers : Now I'm really interested in your solution. If I understood that correctly, you have written a node which takes a picture from the client side and sends it to the node-red server. Of course without the desired settings. Basically I agree with all your objections. However, I lack th…

[image] BartButenaers: Damn, no experience with that... But aside from the storage, I'm still confused in which way the user can access and change the settings... It isn't hard. You either use a cookie or, best for modern browsers, localstorage. There is a clear API for using localstorage w…

[image] wym: If I understood that correctly, you have written a node which takes a picture from the client side and sends it to the node-red server. Hey @wym , I have refurbished my experimental node a little bit, to make the minimum functionality working. Here is a short demo as a proof of …

Note that in the demo I press the inject button to take a snapshot. However if multiple clients are connected, a snapshot will be made on every client. Therefore a button "make snapshot" should be added to the dashboard, which sends a message to the server side flow. And that message should be us…

This topic interests me also a lot. I am trying to setup something similar for a party where people can take pictures with their camera and share them somehow so that they become almost immediately projected in a slide show. The current idea is that they have to email the pictures they take with t…

@BartButenaers This looks very nice. Since the Christmas holidays are coming now and I would like to take a closer look, it would be great if you could share the node. I would keep it confidential and return any modifications directly to you. It is your task to release the node in a (beta) version…

Hey guys, The dashboard's Notification-node has a checkbox (on its config screen) to allow a request to be send to one or all clients: <div class="form-row" id="node-toast-sendtoall"> <label style="width:auto" for="node-input-sendall"><i class="fa fa-arrow-right"></i> Send to all browser s…
