I created some flows in Node Red that start with an inject node.
But I would like to start the inject node from my gx touch screen (or remote console).
Any idea if there is a GUI mode available that can pull this off?

Node red inject node on Remote console
Somebody can point me in the right direction.
I googled it again but the only thing i found, was my own question here.
Did you ever figure this out? I'm in the same, uh, boat.
A dirty workaround is to use the relay state, assuming you aren't using the relay for something else.
- Set the relay mode to manual
- Trigger the relay from VRM
- Use the relay state node as the trigger
If there is a better way, I am also keen to know.
@deon.korb Not a bad idea (especially with guimods which has a relay state/control page) but I’m using both relays. In fact what I want to do is trigger a flow that cycles one of them every 3 seconds (to blink the anchor light so I can find my boat in an anchorage).
What about building a dashboard in Node Red? This won't help with touch screen control, but accessing Node Red dashboard is about the same effort to get to via VRM as remote console.
