After installing the node red skill you need to deploy some flows in node red
read the Node Red Getting Started Guide
you might need to install
apt-get install libssl-dev libffi-dev
Node red can be running in any machine, does not need to run in same place as mycroft, if this is the case open port 6789 in mycroft
sudo ufw allow 6789
Note that it is node red that starts a connection to mycroft, not the other way around
node red must be running, it can be started with
node-red-start
or made into a system service
sudo systemctl enable nodered.service
sudo service nodered start
verify that node-red is running at http://noderedip:1880
NodeRed will open a websocket connection to communicate with mycroft
ws://username:secret@127.0.0.1:6789
username can be anything, secret is set in web ui of the skill
You need to edit mycroft-in and mycroft-out websocket nodes with the correct secret and mycroft's ip address
Edit intents flow to add your node red intents
There are 2 flows providing extra functionality
A basic webchat is provided, you can access it at http://noderedip:1880/ui
Test different payload with the debug flow
