Question

Is Node.js good for robotics and the smart home?
as a fault-tolerant, constantly running server that receives signals from sensors and sends signals to actuators

Answer 1

If you write your application to be fault-tolerant and always running, then it's fine. No no.
Something like this...

Answer 2

Well, for example Node-RED

Answer 3

I advise to develop all devices in the smart home with RF transceivers ( CC from TI )
They are all cheap, communicate with one master, and he already transmits and controls via wifi, 868MHz is better for the home, and the consumption is less, and messing around with TCP is not it is necessary, and produce wifi points
And then, on the main receiver, use any kind of nuclear program, if you already decide to deal with electronics, do it rationally
I will be very happy if, thanks to me, there will be one less person who uses a full-fledged processor and OS ) to turn off the lights or water the flowers
Oh yes, STM32 is enough as a server for processing sensors

Answer 4

a colleague using arduino, nw.js, and sensors from ali express, assembled a magnetic card reader and a Windows application for processing data from cards. So what are some things you can do?
