Wire up your devices and services, without a line of foreign cloud
Connect sensors, APIs, and services with visual flow programming from Node-RED, installed and maintained by DINAO. Your IoT data and integrations stay on our French servers — sovereign end-to-end.
What is Node-RED?
Node-RED is a low-code programming platform for building event-driven applications. Built on Node.js and its non-blocking model, it allows you to collect, transform, and visualize data in real time by connecting nodes on a visual canvas, with little or no code.
Its ecosystem is one of its major strengths: over 5,000 nodes and flows contributed by the community extend its use cases, from home automation to industrial control, including web service and API integration. Dedicated nodes also allow you to call LLMs and AI services directly within a flow.
Node-RED can be deployed on edge devices (Raspberry Pi) as well as on-premise or in the cloud. The project is part of the OpenJS Foundation and is sponsored by FlowFuse.

This application uses AI
The container hosts the application, not the AI engine (which requires dedicated GPUs) : inference is handled externally, with your own provider key. Prioritize a sovereign engine — Mistral AI, NumSpot, Scaleway, or OVHcloud AI Endpoints (France, GDPR) ; an international provider (OpenAI, Anthropic…) only if a specific capability requires it. Inference subscriptions are not included in hosting.
Technical details
You might be wondering…
What is Node-RED used for in practice?
Node-RED visually connects devices, APIs, and services via "flows". Ideal for IoT, home automation, event-driven integration, and rapid prototyping, without developing a full application.
Can I connect my smart devices and sensors?
Yes. Node-RED handles MQTT, HTTP, serial, Modbus, and many other protocols. Your sensor data is processed and stored on your French instance.
Where is the data hosted?
On DINAO's infrastructure in France, in one of the available data centers. Your flows and IoT data do not leave the territory.
Do I need technical skills?
Not to get started: the visual editor is wired via drag-and-drop. DINAO handles installation, security, and updates. Technical users can write JavaScript functions.
Can I change my plan or export my flows?
Yes. You can change tiers at any time, and your flows export in JSON format — no vendor lock-in.
