Node-RED MQTT UI Console

A simple flow to create a Dashboard UI for monitoring MQTT data and submitting a topic & message.

This flow is also a good example of how to store data in an array of objects and then send it to a UI Template node, leveraging the AngularJS Directive "ng-repeat".

Hi,

The "MQTT Output" template show "MQTT Output [Unassigned]" , and http://localhost:1880/ui works but show nothing. How do I go about to fix it? Thanks.
