Integrates with

Node-RED acts as a low-code integration layer between Odoo's XML-RPC/REST API and shop floor equipment, enabling manufacturers to push sensor readings, machine states, or barcode scans into Odoo manufacturing orders without custom Python development.

EMQX and Node-RED form a powerful combination for IoT data collection and processing, with EMQX handling high-scale MQTT ingestion and Node-RED providing visual workflow automation.

HiveMQ and Node-RED form a common IoT data pipeline. Node-RED connects to HiveMQ as an MQTT client to subscribe to device topics, process messages, and route data to databases, APIs, or other services.

Node-RED can produce and consume Kafka messages through Confluent Platform, enabling visual flow-based integration with industrial protocols and enterprise systems.

RabbitMQ integrates with Node-RED through the AMQP and MQTT nodes, enabling visual flow-based programming for message routing and processing.

Apache Flink and Node-RED can be integrated to combine visual flow-based programming with powerful stream processing capabilities for industrial IoT applications.

Eclipse Kapua and Node-RED can be integrated to create powerful IoT workflows. Kapua manages devices and ingests data, while Node-RED provides visual workflow orchestration and data processing.

Node-RED provides native Redis connectivity through the node-red-contrib-redis package, enabling flow-based integration with Redis Streams for industrial IoT pipelines.

Node-RED can produce and consume Kafka messages for IoT data flows.

Node-RED can consume telemetry and events from Eclipse Hono's northbound AMQP or Kafka APIs, enabling visual flow-based processing of device data.

Node-RED can send processed data to ThingsBoard via MQTT or REST API. Some deployments use Node-RED for complex flow logic and protocol translation at the edge, feeding results into ThingsBoard for centralized dashboards and device management.
