About

What is DuloNode?

DuloNode is an independent project created to make voice control with Alexa and Node-RED simple, secure, and privacy-friendly - without vendor lock-in or unnecessary cloud complexity.

It is designed for people who want full control over their automations, clear behavior, and predictable infrastructure.

DuloNode does not require access to your Amazon account, and you never need to share your Amazon credentials to use the service.

Built independently and sustainably

DuloNode is fully independent and self-funded. There is no corporate backing, no advertising, and no data monetization.

The project is sustained by users who subscribe to the paid plans.

• Free accounts can use a limited number of devices
• Each account can use one DuloNode Hub
• There are no limits on usage or commands

Subscriptions help cover infrastructure costs and ensure the project can continue without compromising privacy or introducing advertising.

Designed for privacy

Privacy is a core design principle of DuloNode.

To operate the service, only the data strictly required to enable Alexa integration is processed. This includes basic account information, device names and states defined in your Node-RED flows, and aggregated usage data used to improve the service.

DuloNode does not sell personal data or use it for advertising. Data is retained only while your account is active and can be fully deleted on request.

Data is shared only where necessary to operate the service, specifically with Amazon Alexa and AWS for secure processing and storage.

Full control inside Node-RED

DuloNode works entirely within your Node-RED flows.

• You create your devices.
• You define what they do.
• You can simulate voice commands, update device states, or trigger actions directly from Node-RED.

There are no external automation rules, no hidden logic, and no forced workflows.

Why DuloNode exists

Many Alexa integrations today:

• require complicated setup steps
• depend on opaque cloud services
• collect unnecessary data
• limit how much control you have

DuloNode was built to be different.

It prioritizes simplicity, transparency, and user control - even if that means growing more slowly or staying smaller.

Built for the community

DuloNode started as a personal project. As more people began using it, it became clear that others were looking for the same straightforward approach.

If you enjoy using DuloNode and want to help it grow, sharing your experience is the best support.

Open to ideas

DuloNode is built with transparency and respect for its users.

If you have ideas, suggestions, or questions about where the project should go next, feedback is always welcome.

Thanks for being part of the DuloNode journey.
