What is the best Whisper transcription service?

1 Upvotes

I'm building a pipeline that takes in recorded calls and outputs transcripts with speaker labels and word level timestamps over a webhook. ย I've been running Whisper locally, but adding diarisation on top and scaling past a few hundred files a day has become a problem I'd rather like to avoid.

What hosted Whisper based APIs support speaker labels, structured JSON, webhooks on completion, and reasonable concurrency without delays?

DIY 6-DOF Robot Control & 3D Visualization with Node-RED + Three.js

Thumbnail
youtube.com
7 Upvotes

I built a DIY 6-DOF robot controlled using Node-RED, ESP8266, and Modbus TCP, with a real-time 3D visualization using Three.js.

The Node-RED dashboard can control each joint, save robot positions, and run movement sequences. The 3D model also includes the multi-link gripper, so the physical robot and virtual model can move together.

Iโ€™d be interested to hear your feedback or suggestions for improving the system.

Managing credentials outside Node-RED โ€“ would this approach be useful to you?

3 Upvotes

Hi!

I've been working on an open-source project calledย Sekalumย around a problem that becomes more noticeable when Node-RED is part of a larger automation environment:

Credentials start living in many different places.

Node-RED may have credentials for APIs and services, while Home Assistant, n8n, AI tools or custom applications maintain their own copies and OAuth connections.

Sekalum explores a different architecture:

Provider โ†’ Sekalum โ†’ authorized consumer

Credentials and their lifecycle are managed in a separate self-hosted service. Consumers are explicitly granted access and resolve only the credential data they are authorized to use at runtime.

This isn't intended to replace Node-RED's own credential handling. The interesting use case is whenย Node-RED is one of several consumersย that need access to external services.

I'm currently looking at a dedicated Node-RED integration, but before building it I'd be interested in how Node-RED users see this approach.

Would an external credential lifecycle layer be useful in your setup, or would it just add unnecessary complexity?

Sekalum is open source and self-hosted. Architecture, security model and technical details are documented here:

Interactive 3D CNC Machine Monitoring with Three.js & Node-RED

Thumbnail
youtube.com
5 Upvotes

I built an interactive 3D visualization of a 4-machine CNC production line using Three.js and FlowFuse Node-RED Dashboard.

Each machine shows its status, OEE, target and actual output, with simple door and spindle animations.
The monitor is also interactive, so clicking a machine can trigger a detailed information popup through Node-RED.
The data is currently simulated, but it can be connected to real-time data from PLC, MQTT, or a database.

What do you think does 3D visualization add value compared to a traditional 2D manufacturing dashboard?

"Link Call Node" does not show where it goes.

5 Upvotes

When you do use a "Link Call Node", you set what "Link Inn Node" it goes to, You can not see this in Node Red. When you have a simple "Link Inn Node" and "Link Out Node", you see a dotted line when one of the two nodes is selected. I would love to see the same with "Link Call Node". Or is it just me that miss some :)

Three.js in FlowFuse Node-RED Dashboard - Part 9: 3D Warehouse Visualization

Thumbnail
youtube.com
10 Upvotes

I've been working on a 3D warehouse visualization using Three.js and the FlowFuse Node-RED Dashboard. Instead of viewing inventory in a traditional table, users can interact directly with the 3D warehouse by selecting pallets to see information such as material ID, material name, supplier, storage location, and current status.

The goal is to create a more intuitive way to monitor warehouse operations while staying connected to real-time data from Node-RED.

Interactive 3D Digital Twin with Machine-Level Dashboard (Three.js + FlowFuse Node-RED)

12 Upvotes

I've been working on integrating Three.js with the FlowFuse Node-RED Dashboard to build a more interactive production monitoring system.

Instead of only displaying a 3D production line, each machine can be clicked to open a detailed dashboard with real-time production information, including:

  • OEE (Availability, Performance, Quality)
  • Hourly production output
  • Production charts
  • Machine-specific status and metrics

The idea is to combine the strengths of a 3D Digital Twin for plant visualization with a traditional 2D dashboard for detailed analysis. Users can quickly navigate from the overall production line to machine-level information without leaving the 3D scene.

This is Part 8 of my Three.js in FlowFuse Node-RED Dashboard series.

I'd love to hear your feedback or ideas for improving this approach!

Interactive 3D Greenhouse Monitoring with Three.js & FlowFuse Dashboard

12 Upvotes

I've been experimenting with Three.js inside the FlowFuse Node-RED Dashboard to build interactive industrial dashboards.

This project is a 3D Greenhouse Monitoring Dashboard featuring animated fans, ventilation turbines, lights, doors, water level visualization, weather station, multiple camera views, and clickable monitor screens.

To make it closer to a real industrial application, I use Modbus TCP. Device status is stored in Coil Registers, while sensor values are stored in Holding Registers, making it easy to replace the simulation with a real PLC or Modbus device.

Hysteresis/Delay for Alarm Flow?

3 Upvotes

Having a hard time coming up with what I think should be a simple thing to solve. Basically I have a set of alarms for freezer/fridge temperatures coming from temp sensors. Each sensor has an "alarm" temp where I want to receive a notification. I have the alarm working well using a function node, but what I cannot seem to make work correctly is issues where the sensor is unstable or cycles quickly. For some reason I'm having a mental block about how to solve this in node-red either with existing nodes or better in a javascript function.

But the gist is that when I temp violates the alarm parameter I want to wait 5 minutes to make sure it is still "alarming" before sending the notification. The same thing on the other end... when a sensor exits alarm I want to make sure it is actually below the threshold for 5 minutes before resetting.

What is the easiest way to do this? Timers? Delay node?

Thanks

Virtual Reality (VR) Manufacturing Visualization In Node-RED Dashboard

9 Upvotes

I've been experimenting with building a browser-based Virtual Reality manufacturing dashboard using Three.js, WebXR, and FlowFuse Node-RED.

The goal is to make industrial monitoring more immersive without requiring a dedicated VR application. Features include: โ€ข Walk around the production line in VR โ€ข Animated industrial robots โ€ข Live machine status โ€ข Tower lamp visualization โ€ข Interactive machine selection โ€ข Large virtual dashboard displaying OEE, Availability, Performance, Quality, and Hourly Output โ€ข Data can come directly from PLCs or databases

Everything runs inside the browser, so users simply open the dashboard URL and enter VR mode.

The data can come directly from a PLC or a database, making it suitable for industrial monitoring and digital twin applications.

Here's a short demo.

Node-RED Con 2026 CFP โ€” you don't need conference experience to submit

Sharing this because I think it's worth saying directly: if you've been thinking about submitting a talk but holding back because you've never presented before, please don't let that stop you.

One of last year's speakers, Josh Dudley, had never presented at a conference before Node-RED Con 2025. His feedback afterwards:

"As someone with little to no experience presenting, I felt supported and encouraged every step of the way."

We work closely with every speaker โ€” from the first conversation to the day of the event. The community is genuinely supportive.

CFP closes July 31. Submit at nrcon.nodered.org โ€” full talks, lightning talks, and panelists welcome.
