Installation

Node-Red

If you do not already have Node-Red installed consider the following before deployment:

• Node-Red can be installed anywhere - you only have to install node-red on the same SBC as Moonraker if you wish to have direct access to the hardware in node-red (eg GPIO).
• moonNode should work on any Node-Red implementation providing it has network access to Moonraker.

Considerations for installing Node-Red on the same SBC running Moonraker

You should validate your available resources on the SBC before implementing, as you do not want to compromise the performance of Moonraker & Klipper by implementing Node-Red. Also take into consideration that each active "flow" you create will consume ram & cpu resources whilst it is processing.

Considerations for Node-Red when not installed on the Moonraker SBC

In this setup, moonNode will connect to Moonraker over your network, which will introduce a tiny amount of latency into the communication between moonNode & moonraker.
