Notice

The flow described in this tutorial will not function properly since ‘node-red-contrib-firebase’ is no longer maintenanced and it is no longer compatible with the current Firebase. A new tutorial will be provided shortly.

Create Flow

Now with firebase ready lets create a flow to push data. In an enebular project go to flows and click on the add button at the bottom right side of the screen.

CreateFlow-flowList

Enter a name and decription then click continue.

CreateFlow-createFlow

Click on Edit Flow to open the flow editor.

CreateFlow-editFlow

(If firebase is not installed please install node-red-contrib-firebase.)

Create the following flow. inject -> function -> firebase modify -> debug CreateFlow-flow

Double click the inject node and set the interval to 10 seconds. Click done when finished.

CreateFlow-injectNode

Double click the function node and set the function as below.

CreateFlow-functionNode

var data = {
        ts: Date.now(),
        category:['A','B','C','D'][Math.floor(Math.random()*4)],
        value: Math.floor(Math.random()*10)
      }

msg.payload = data;
return msg;

Double click the firebase node and set the inputs as follows.

Click on the pencil to edit the firebase url and auth type then update. Firebase: firebase: YOUR FIREBASE PROJECT ID auth type: none

CreateFlow-firebaseConfigNode

Child path : test Method : Push value : msg.payload name : (any name you want)

CreateFlow-firebaseNode

Now with all nodes set you can now click deploy. Check your debug log tab to see if data is being pushed correctly.

CreateFlow-debugLog

You can also check your Firebase project database to see the data being saved.
