Thanks, I will definitely look into this if I find nodejs or node-red useful to my projects, but I'm setting up a system to get a non-programmer started with an automation project using a BBG as an alternative to wiring up a bunch of relays and timers. I'm going to give it to him tomorrow and show him some simple demos I've set up. He's ~80 miles away, being "off-grid" with only limited Internet access via cell phone tethering so there are some serious obstacles for a programming newbie.
