Blynk MQTT Client for Node-RED

Node-RED is a visual programming tool that streamlines the integration of devices, APIs, and online services. With its drag-and-drop interface, users can easily create workflows by connecting predefined nodes to perform various tasks without extensive coding. It's widely used in IoT, home automation, and industrial automation applications for its flexibility, scalability, and ease of use. Node-RED enables rapid development of IoT solutions, from simple data collection to complex automation scenarios.
