Eclipse Kapua integrates with Node-RED

Overview

Eclipse Kapua and Node-RED complement each other in industrial IoT deployments. Kapua provides the device management and data ingestion layer, while Node-RED enables visual workflow creation and data transformation.

Integration Architecture

Devices → Kapua → REST/MQTT → Node-RED → Databases/APIs/Alerts

• Kapua: Device management, authentication, message broker
• Node-RED: Data processing, workflow automation, integrations

Use Cases

• Data Pipeline: Kapua ingests sensor data; Node-RED routes to InfluxDB, Grafana, or ERP systems
• Alerting: Node-RED processes Kapua telemetry and triggers notifications
• Protocol Bridging: Node-RED translates between Kapua MQTT and legacy protocols

Configuration

1. Deploy both Kapua and Node-RED
2. Use Kapua REST API or MQTT in Node-RED nodes
3. Create flows that consume device data from Kapua
4. Route processed data to business applications
