Node-RED

Brewfather does not currently have a dedicated Node-RED setup wizard in the app UI.

For Node-RED integrations, use one of these patterns:

Option A: API-based flows (pull/poll)

1. Open Settings → Integration → Generate API-Key.

2. Select required scopes.

3. Copy both:

   • API-Key

   • User Id

4. Configure your Node-RED flow to call the Brewfather API.

API docs: https://api.brewfather.app

In the current UI, Generate Key is only shown when no user API key exists. Delete/regenerate when rotating keys.

Option B: Webhook-based flows (push)

1. Create an HTTPS endpoint in Node-RED.

2. In Brewfather, open Settings → Power-ups for a supported integration.

3. Click (configure webhook) and add your endpoint URL.

4. Choose Processed or Raw format.
