Awesome Node-RED 
Curated list of useful resources for Node-RED.
Node-RED is a programming tool for
wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and
interesting ways.
It provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire
together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette that can be
deployed to its runtime in a single-click.
