Just to add, node-red works well <> with hamlib, and it is how

I access my windows FTDX101MP serial connected rigctld bat process from the
lan with node-red running on Debian ;

Then other flows like the SPE amp flow can be linked in/out to auto control
drive power, and temperature protection.

In node-red settings.js

 **/
process.env.RIGADDRESS = '192.168.0.2'
process.env.RIGPORT = '4532'
process.env.RIGADDRESS1 = '192.168.0.32'
process.env.RIGPORT1 = '4532'
module.exports = {


Covers two rigs I have connected using hamlib rigctld. The other is lan
connected to macos running rigctld connected to a FT-747GX.
