Application commands

[pberna67]

Dear All

I see that freeMASTER Application Commands are not available in NODE RED nodes. Is it possibile to invoke them in some way ?

Regards

Paolo

Hi @pberna67,

Unfortunately, application commands were not added to FreeMASTER;s Node-RED nodes.

Currently, the only way you could add them is by extending `node-red-contrib-freemaster` Node.js module available in `FreeMASTER Node.js Modules` and then install them manually by running:

npm i path_to_the_updated_node-red-contrib-freemaster

from Node-RED's home folder ($HOME/.node-red).

Kind regards,
Iulian

Dear Iulian

It is a pity ! need command 

1) Are freeMASTER / FreeMaster lite still under development ?

2) Any plan to integrate Application commands in  the next release ?
 

I'm try approaching  FreeMaster (not lite) version which has the Application command, however here Node Red is not supported !

Hi Paolo,

1. FreeMASTER is actively developed and enhanced, whereas FreeMASTER Lite is primarily maintained through bug fixes and critical updates.
2. The Application Commands feature has been available for many years. While it is still maintained and tested in FreeMASTER, there are currently no plans for further enhancements. Where possible, we recommend using alternative mechanisms to control the application (ex: using flag variables).
