Apart from internet connectivity at main and remote locations, Do I need to opt any third party could service to see the real time output of the sensors installed at main location with gateway? If yes, who offers this service and how the cost will be calculated?
Hi @trivedijm No, it is not necessary to use a third-party service to view real-time sensor data at the main location. By accessing Node-RED (running on Enterprise IIoT Gateway), you can directly see the data transmitted by the sensor. Additionally, you can use the Dashboard framework to create a dynamic dashboard or choose one of the options we offer.
If you want to monitor or analyze sensor data in cloud services, you can utilize third-party Node-RED libraries. Moreover, we have partnerships with cloud providers, and you can review their plans and costs.
Note: I’ve also responded to your ticket.
Thank you,

Thanks for your reply. So I need to install Node-RED in the PC at main location in which I wish to see the real time sensor outputs. Node-RED will also allow to create a dashboard. to see graphical vie of the sensor outputs. How the standard e mail alerts can be generated? Like if sensor output crosses certain limits, need to generate alerts.
Further there will be no recurring cost to run the system if I am using Node-RED in the PC at main location. Just wish to know how the PC at main location will map and hand shake with the gateway at remote location?
You do not need a 2nd Node-RED instance running on a different PC. As @Eduardo_Mtz mentions in the quote above you access Node-Red running on Enterprise IIoT Gateway. To connect to Node-RED (running on Enterprise IIoT Gateway) from the main location you can use a VPN like zerotier or openVPN.
Build a dashboard (in Node-Red) on the gateway install and configure the vpn client on the gateway and the PC at the main location….and…
your done!
Hi,
I am working on a project with the enterprise gateway, node red, and IoT long range devices. I have a network of sensors collecting data via MQTT. I would like to use some similar devices to affect some outputs like valves and pumps.
I have a topic that I’m subscribed to in node-red, so I can see data that is being manipulated from the Database side.
However, I do not see any device types for an output device type in the NCD standard library.
Are there any relay outputs or 4-20mA outputs that work natively with the enterprise gateway?
Would the RS 485/RS232 converted be able to send data back to a PLC?
Or do I need to create an ethernet output to a PLC using the eth 0 port?
Are you saying that you would like to control relay outputs via Node-Red running on the Enterprise Gateway?
This is possible with our long range wireless ProXR relay controllers. I have a sample Node-Red flow here that demonstrates how that can be accomplished:
If you can let us know how many relay outputs you need I can suggest a board.
The same can be accomplished with 4-20mA outputs using this device:
