Node-RED is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.
Node red Crestron is a plug-in of node red.
Through this plug-in, you can realize the conversion between many protocols on node red.
For example, mqtt, HTTP, TCP, UDP, RS485, RS232, KNX, BACnet, OPC, etc
In addition, you can also connect the device to homekit, Amazon Alex, google.xiaomi, etc
