@KristopherLeads Could you please apply the suggested changes? If there are any suggestions you don't intend to implement, could you please close them? This will make it easier for us to review the PR and see which suggestions have been addressed and which are still pending.

@KristopherLeads KristopherLeads requested review from ZJvandeWeg and sumitshinde-84 and removed request for PabloFilomeno83 July 10, 2026 16:49
answer: "FlowFuse Certified Nodes are Node-RED modules that FlowFuse has put through a defined quality, security, and support process before they reach your palette. The vetting, vulnerability monitoring, and maintenance you would otherwise carry yourself become work that FlowFuse owns on your behalf, continuously."
- question: "What does certification actually check?"
answer: "Certification covers three pillars. Quality means each node is tested for operational reliability and compatibility so it behaves predictably across versions. Security means FlowFuse proactively resolves potential vulnerabilities and revokes certification from any node that falls short, notifying affected customers. Support means you get real troubleshooting help and a defined path to resolution when a node gives you trouble."
- question: "How do I access Certified Nodes?"

here we should tell, they have to contact sales, certifed nodes are not enabled by default


Right now, FlowFuse offers [Certified Nodes](/integrations/?certified=1) across a focused, high-value set of integrations, split across two categories: FlowFuse Edge and FlowFuse Hub. This includes official support for [Redis](/node-red/flowfuse/hub/redis) under Hub, and the [CIP Suite](/node-red/flowfuse/edge/cip-suite) for Allen-Bradley/EtherNet-IP devices, [OPC UA](/node-red/flowfuse/edge/opcua/) and [RTSP](/node-red/flowfuse/edge/rtsp/) under Edge. We're actively expanding this catalogue, with major additions planned in the coming weeks to cover even more devices and systems.

FlowFuse Certified Nodes are available to Teams and Enterprise tier customers. New instances get automatic access to the catalogue, and you can [contact us](/contact-us) to add them to an existing instance - or to talk through which of these problems you're facing. Reach out to us today to see if FlowFuse Certified Nodes can help you and your stack!

@KristopherLeads Looks good once the availability-related suggestions have been applied. It's ready to publish from my side, but I'll leave the final call to @ZJvandeWeg
