9 years ago Not sure if a new node is needed since there is already a nice HTTP request node:
This flow sends a single sensor value to the wotkit as an example. To try it, cut and paste into Node-Red.
A 'real' wotkit node could use OAuth2 and combine the function node with the http request node. I may work on this, but this may work just fine for now.

This way we can centralize the real time data processing and connectivity to our upstream servers into node-red.
(We'll keep the direct connection to wotkit with auto registration still as in #11.)
