| description | Traffic Monitor Node-RED configuration logic |
|---|
{% hint style="info" %} This page is for the Traffic Monitor -specific configuration of the Node-RED flows. This controls much of the logic and flow for the traffic monitor but does not control other applications such as Frigate or the operating system.
See frigate-config.md for controlling object detection parameters. {% endhint %}
The Traffic Monitor Node-RED config file changes definitions to various services and functionality.
- Installed path:
/opt/traffic-monitor/docker/node-red-tm/config/config.yml - Repo path:
docker/node-red-tm/config/config.yml.j2
The config file is loaded whenever the TM flows restart.
{% hint style="info" %} It is not necessary to copy this full configuration file. Default values are specified below. {% endhint %}

########
# Optional: IoT hub backend integration
thingsboard:
# Optional: enable connection to backend thingsboard server (default: shown below)
enabled: false
# Required: host name, without protocol or port number
host: tb.example.com
# Required: thingsboard telemetry protocol (default: shown below),
# NOTE: only http(s) currently supported, mqtt coming soon

protocol: http
# Optional: port, common settings: https=443, http=80, mqtt=1883
# Check with your ThingsBoard admin for settings
port:
# Optional: API key for device
# Note: (Future) if already provisioned, will be assigned based on provisionDeviceKey and secret
access_token:
# Optional: future use for auto-provisioning (RPiSN)
# provisionDeviceKey:
# Optional: future use for auto-provisioning (manual)
# provisionDeviceSecret:
# Optional: deployment location details
# Note: May be used to determine device placement on maps
# NOTE: Can be overridden at the sensors level, top-level values will cascade down
deployment:
# NOTE: for address-level accuracy, recommend at least 4 digits after the decimal
# Optional: Latitude in decimal degrees format; e.g. 45.5225
lat:
# Optional: Longitude in decimal degrees format; e.g. -122.6919
lon:
# Optional: cardinal (N, S, E, W) or ordinal (NE, NW, SE, etc.) direction the camera/radar is facing
# Note: For bearing, match the roadway traffic direction
bearing:
sensors:
# Optional: if used, must match the Frigate camera name(s)
# if not set, no cameras will be used
cameras:
# camera name must match Frigate configuration camera names
picam_h264:
# Optional Enable/disable the camera (default: shown below).
# if disabled, any Frigate events for specified camera will be ignored
# Note: this will not impact Frigate's system
enabled: false
# Optional: define the radar co-located with camera to associate speeds
# camera and radar direction and field of view (FOV) should match
# Note: name needs to match one defined in `radars` section
# Note: A single radar may be attached to multiple cameras
camera_radar: TM_RADAR_SERIAL_PORT_00
# Optional, related to addons
plate_recognizer: false
# Optional: used to specify what radars are enabled for speed/direction and detection
radars:
# Note: Names must match those defined in the node-red environment file
# Names are used to associate readings with cameras and other sensors
TM_RADAR_SERIAL_PORT_00:
# Optional: Enable/disable the radar (default: shown below).
enabled: false
# Optional: used to specify air quality monitor sensor name(s)
# Note: air quality configuration file is separate from the node-red config, based on the aq device
airquality_monitors:
# Required: aq sensor name must match AQ configuration -defined MQTT topic middle element (second element)
sensorname01:
# Optional: Enable/disable the AQ sensor payloads (default: shown below).
enabled: false
# Required: mqtt topic to subscribe for incoming full-payload telemetry from AQ sensor
# must be last element in mqtt topic defined in AQ configuration
mqtt_topic_incoming: readings
time:
# Optional: Set a timezone to use in the UI (default: use browser local time)
# NOTE: shall be in unix tz format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
# this will also set the timezone for the entire system
timezone: America/Los_Angeles
# Optional: For internet-connected deployments, sync using `timedatectl set-npt` (default: shown below)
# Note: for offline deployments, time will stop whenever power is disconnected
