Install Node-RED in Hass.io / Home Assistant

Please find the links etc below the introduction. I made a mistake in the video: the HomeAssistant module is not installed by default as I thought in the video. To install it, simply go to the burger-menu (3 horizontal lines) at the side of the "Deploy" button. Click on "Manage Pallete", then "Install" and paste the following into the search box: node-red-contrib-home-assistant Press "Install" in the little white box and then red "Install" button in the confirmation dialogue. That's it... any problems, let me know. If you want to install the Node-RED addon in hassio then this is the video for you. A ten minute-ish video showing you where to find the addon and how to install it. I also show you how to add Node-RED to the Home Assistant sidebar, as well as talking you through creating a very simple example to get the state of the sun from Home Assistant. Here is the URL for the addon repository https://github.com/notoriousbdg/hassio-addons/tree/master/node-red Here is the addon if you simply wish to copy and paste the repo URL straight into hass.io https://github.com/notoriousbdg/hassio-addons To add Node-RED to the sidebar add this to your configuration.yaml file. Note that if you already have a "panel_iframe:" section in your configuration just copy the "nodered:" line below to the end of the section and paste it under your current panel_iframes. panel_iframe: nodered: title: Node-RED icon: mdi:nodejs url: http://127.0.0.1:1880 Remember that you may need to change the URL in the code above to reflect the one in your address bar. Most likely you will not, but please be aware of this just in case the sidebar link doesn't work at first. What did you think of the video? How useful did you find it? Is there an addon you would like to see demonstrated or installed? Remember: If you have any questions; queries or complaints then please do not hesitate to leave a comment in the comment section below and I shall get back to you as soon as I can (more often than not in less than a day).
