Node Red, Signal K and NMEA 2000 Devices

Just wondering if anyone has looked at how to get Node Red to send a message to a NMEA 2000 device. I am looking to install a yacht devices YSDC-04, and want to to switch the switches within Node Red flows.

Just asking if anyone has any pointers.

I am aware of the @signalk/node-red-embedded for when node-red is embedded in Signal

Hi @Bathnm,

I don't know of any way other than using the nodes from node-red-embedded within SignalK. Unfortunately their nodes are working only when embedded.


I've two YDCC-04 and switch them remotely using SignalK -> signalk-n2k-switching-plugin -> WilhelmSK

Looks like you an do it, but requires a fair amount of work.

watched this Youtube Video. Open a session to port 8375, then parse the msg payload for what is required. Not sure how to push data back to SignalK,

Wonder if we just load the Victron contrib into the embedded node red?
