Lots of similar concepts to what we do with NoFlo and MicroFlo in Flowhub (http://flowhub.io/) -- and actually interesting that they went with the more limited editor from Node Red instead of our open source UI (https://github.com/noflo/noflo-ui)

Here's one fun IoT project we did in Flowhub: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/ingress-table/

In any case, great that SkyNet is open source. I'll look at wrapping the APIs to NoFlo components when I find a bit of time...

Our Octoblu designer is a MUCH more robust version of NodeRED. It's multi-tenant and sandboxed via Docker.

Our goal with NodeBLU was to release a very simple client-side designer that didn't require setup and at the same time incorporated more client-side technologies such as: WebRTC, Google Speech APIs, HTML5 notifications, Game controllers, Chrome DB datastores, as well as SkyNet nodes.

Http headers with usernames and passwords sent in the clear? Sounds like a nightmare. I was hoping for "TLS w/ pre-shared keys", where they embed a key on the chip, to help against this. http://t.co/9EFR8NtTPc (0:46:00)

We have a TLS certificate and support HTTPS on all REST APIs as well as WebSocket API calls. It's your option as to whether or not you use SSL.

Sounds very similar to NoFlo UI still. We have pretty much all those client-side features as components already :-)

One thing that might be interesting to you is the protocol we use to talk between UI and runtimes, and runtime-to-runtime:
