Part-DB-Smart-Shelf-Light

A browser automation project that connects a Part-DB inventory system with physical LED indicators via Node-RED, creating an interactive "smart shelf" system that visually guides users to component locations.

🎯 Project Overview

This project solves a common workshop problem: quickly finding physical components in storage shelves. When you view a part in your Part-DB web interface, the system automatically sends its storage location to Node-RED, which can then control LED lights or other indicators to visually highlight the correct shelf.

Core Concept: Browser extension → Node-RED → Physical indicators
