No Code, All Action: Building IoT Systems with Node-RED

Proposal status is Rejected
Session Description

In the world of Electronics and Communication, connecting hardware to the software world can often be complex and code-heavy. This talk introduces Node-RED, a powerful open-source flow-based development tool originally created by IBM.

​I will demonstrate how students and hobbyists can use Node-RED to build functional IoT projects (like Security Systems or Home Automation) without writing extensive code. We will look at how to visually wire together hardware devices, APIs, and online services.

Key Takeaways

Understanding Flow-Based Programming: What is Node-RED and why is it useful for ECE students?

​Hardware Integration: How to connect sensors (like in a Border Security system) to a dashboard.

​Rapid Prototyping: How to build a working backend in minutes, not days.
