To create flows you will need to open the editor by going to editor url. The editor url is the machine name or IP address followed by the port number. e.g 127.0.0.1:1880/ if you are running the browser on the same machines as node-red. localhost:1880/ – steve-laptop:1880/ when running node-red on a remote machine 192.168.1.154:1880/ I currently run node-red on a Raspberry Pi and use a second machine (windows 10) to create flows. Using The Node Red Editor (UI) When you open the node-red editor for the first time you should start with an empty workspace as shown in the earlier screen shot above. The default view is a three column layout with nodes on the left ,the flows work space in the middle and a third column on the right. The third column or output pane has 4 to 5 tabs – info, debug, config, context and dashboard ( if installed). Note: In versions 0.19 and above there are now 5 tabs and additional tabs may be present depending on the nodes that have been installed. The two new ones are the configuration tab and the context tab. Video Introduction to The Editor The Node-Red Workspace A workspace can
