Project grade: Finest.
NR BAS stand for (Node RED Building Automation System).
*Former name was Noble project of Rafiel - Building Automation System; hence NR-BAS.
It uses MEAN (MySQL, ExpressJS, AngularJS and NodeJS) stack combine with Python and few others to make it happen.
Aim was to make it publicly available, free to use and modify potentially under MIT license.
Created and lead by Rafiel, it is currently deployed and openly available only through associates of the project.
In the early stage, it was just a talks and words of a concept, floating in mind, out of experience throughout a life of a professional Engineer and Technical Specialist; Rafiel Arkcantos:
'What if there was a BAS that was convenient for engineering setup, easily to modify, does not need engineer level skills and free for life? Now that will give great progress to STEM advancement'
Thus, a project was born; Noble project of Rafiel - Building Automation System; hence NR-BAS.
Rafiel knows that with his multi-stack technology knowledge, ability and experience with his project (Project: Sentry), will prove to be burden from 3 aspect:
Steep learning curve despite much more stable, reliable and robust solution.
Require multi-knowledge with much more tedious setup. Resulting required more capable and committed executer.
Change of world trends / direction of interest to Full-stack. From the net, down to students graduation from their studies.
Initially, planned was to use existing, premade and perhaps open system. However this is near non existence. So Rafiel will have to take things into his own hands which led to:
Project Indicator (alias to NR-BAS).
The project name may sound strange, however it was designated to be as an indicator to the BAS industry just like his statement of What if.
Later it was renamed to ArkcanBAS - combination of Arkcantos and BAS which sounding like: I can BAS.
In the end, name was fall back to NR BAS with new acrynom; NR BAS now stand for (Node RED Building Automation System).
