# Node Assistant

Node Assistant is the interface software that runs on on both the Twinview Edge Gateway Devices and our Cloud Virtual Gateway Devices providing a consistant easy to use interface for the Twinview Ingestion service.

Node Assistant provides a powerful visual interface for the following use cases:

* Visually Integrating into your building systems, using BACnet IP, Modbus, MQTT, LoRaWAN without needing to understand code or the low-level protocols or schematic of each.
* Creating advanced automations that can run in both the cloud and on the Network Edge
* Provide a Easy to use visual interface interacting with the Twinview REST API 
* A middleware data-wrangler for transforming data between systems and services.

{% hint style="info" %}
Node Assistant does not provide any functionality or capabilities above what the Twinview Ingestion service and API.   What it DOES do is provide a easy to use interface for existing capabilities, especially for non-programmers.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://twinview.gitbook.io/documentation/node-assistant/node-assistant.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
