This Edge-Uploader module and many other Bitpool developed nodes have been pre-installed for your convenience in a Bitpool themed Node-RED application.
Go here for how to install Bitpool-Edge.
The Uploader library of nodes is broken down into 2x functional blocks.
uploader - interacts with the bitpool cloud, creating pools, streams, and uploading data.
metatag - appends tags to the node red msg object, and forwards the tags to the uploader node. This enriches the data getting uploaded to the bitpool cloud
Now that your Bitpool-Edge is up and running, we have included simple examples flows to demonstrate how to create a basic solution.
Log into your Bitpool-Edge instance and click the Hamburger icon, in the top-right corner.
Select Manage Palette from the drop down menu then click the Import->Examples tabs to see this node.
Navigate the ‘Examples flows’ tree and select @bitpoolos/edge-uploader to reveal the preconfigured examples.
Click the example you would like to test the click the Import button.
Place the example nodes on a flow and review the configuration of each node. You will need to make suitable changes for your system.
Finally, click the Save to test.
Additionally, there is basic helper documentation on each node. Just select a target node and click the
Helptab found at the top right corner of Bitpool-Edge.Hint - the icon looks like a book!
