Since the application situation of the Spectra PowerBox 100-IoT as well as the update strategy of the user may be very different, these updates must be installed explicitly. Relating to Node-Red, please note that there might be compatibility issues with existing flows between the different versions and that they should be adjusted at first.
  • Page 91 If individual services do not work as expected after the update, you should reboot the Spectra PowerBox 100-IoT. As described above, the operating status of the relevant services can be viewed via the start page of the Web interface.

  • Page 93: Node-Red Programming

    Node-Red editor, the process logics must be individually programmed in most of the cases due to the diversity of data structures. The user manual of the Spectra PowerBox 100-IoT can only cover the technical operation of Node-Red, also for reasons of topicality.
