Started to use Node-RED last year in 2018 because I got the
Raspberry Pi 3B+ and I'm not that familiar with JavaScript and Python isn't really as straightforward as Node-RED.

I absolutely love Node-RED and the possibilities I now have without the need to learn everything about JavaScript, however I do need it sometimes but for what I want to do with it I only need to learn a fraction just to do one function or something like that.

Because of Node-RED I now have an easy way to control my RGB LEDs via my home made hardware interface so I can control the 12 volt LED strip directly with the GPIO pins on my Raspberry Pi on my mobile phone with a nice dashboard which is awesome.

I hope that I can learn some more and faster with my membership here on the Node-RED forum.
