Node Ideas

A list of ideas for new node-red nodes.

• Folder Listing (JK, 2015-03-16)
  A quick, OS independent way to return an array of files and/or folders (using Node.js file system core library maybe)
• EXIF/IPTC input node (JK, 2015-03-16)
  Given an array of files and an array of metadata fields, GET the EXIF and/or IPTC metadata from the files and return as an array.
• EXIF/IPTC Output node (JK, 2015-03-16)
  Given an array of files and an array of metadata fields/values, SET the EXIF and/or IPTC metadata on the files.
• RSS Output (JK, 2015-03-16)
  A quick way to produce valid RSS output. Would need to set the correct HTTP headers as well as have an agreed input data schema. This, combined with the RSS "Feedparse" node would allow Yahoo! Pipes style reprocessing of feeds. The most common requirement for this is to add full articles into feeds that normally only supply short summaries.
• Scheduler (DCJ)
  a richer node than inject that can be used to set repeating and one off timer events - eg for heating/lighting control. Should have a concept of calendaring (ie day of week, day of month, etc) and also survive / recover in the case of power outages.
• ELM327 / OBD-II node (@vielmetti, 2015-03-16). This node would support setting and getting values from an automotive diagnostic port; a possible library to speed this along is https://github.com/EricSmekens/node-bluetooth-obd which provides a bluetooth interface.
• MQTT Subscribe Node with the ability to change the topic (Ian M, 2015-03-17)
• Compare / Diff node that can compare two files and output changes? (SJ, 2015-03-20)
• LIRC node for sending infrared remote control commands. Perhaps using this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/lirc_node (SJ, 2015-04-06)
