For my example I created two variable $thetime and $thevalue.Ī function node can be used to format a msg.params item. As much as I love PLCs, sometimes they arent the answer to EVERYTHING. function Node with generic programmable functions. The sqlite node can use a “Prepared Statement” with a msg.params item to pass in data. (Node-RED-node-arduino may also be utilized to carry out this operation). A good approach for a Rasp Pi is to pass some parameters into an SQL statement. Note: the database file is automatically created.įor my example I used a 2 column table with a timestamp and a valueĭata can be inserted into Sqlite a number of different ways. In the sqlite node an SQL create table command is used to make a new table. I connected a manual inject node to a sqlite node.

It is possible to create a database and table structures totally in Node-Red. cd ~/.node-red npm i -unsafe-perm node-red-node-sqlite npm rebuild Create a Database and Table Instead I did a manual install as per the directions at. I wasn’t able to install the Sqlite node using the Node-Red palette manager. Node-Red is pre-installed on the Pi Raspian image. I think the problem is related to npm and I am not an expert.
#Node red sqlite how to
I also wanted to show how to reformat the SQL output so that it could be viewed in a Node-Red Dashboard line chart. I tried to build the package node-red-node-sqlite but without any success as I have still an error. In this blog I wanted to document how I used Node-Red to create, insert and view SQL data on a Raspberry Pi. Sqlite is an extremely light weight database that does not run a server component.
