Improved Node-RED within FlowFuse

[joepavitt]

Description

In hosting Node-RED through FlowFuse, we should explore opportunities to provide an improved Node-RED experience. This Epic captures these ideas.

Existing

• Immersive Editor: Provides a FF tray above the NR Editor that provides quick access to the Node-RED logs, Snapshots, Assets, etc.
• Project Nodes: Provide a channel by which to communicate between Devices and Instances, and (soon) publish direct to the MQTT Broker
• FlowFuse AI Assistant: Available in FlowFuse Cloud, although can be configured for self-hosted, but requires manual communication with us.

Opportunities

• Self Hosted FlowFuse Assistant
• FlowFuse Nodes
  • Rebranding the "Project Nodes" to be more intuitive as to what they offer Node-RED users, e.g. to "Send", "Broadcast" and "Listen"
  • Machine Learning & Predictive Analytics: Ideally for use with UNS/MQTT feeds
  • Some combination of Async API node generation idea with the incoming Schema Documentation for FlowFuse.
