+
+The Remote Agent plugin is an alternative option to the full Device Agent way of managing remote Node-RED instances.
+
+It is a plugin that can be installed into any Node-RED (4.1+), making it quick and easy to get an existing Node-RED connected to the platform without having to migrate to the Device Agent.
+
+### Why another plugin?
+
+The [Device Agent](https://flowfuse.com/docs/device-agent/overview/) is our main way of managing a remote Node-RED instance from the FlowFuse platform. As a standalone process, it has full control over Node-RED - installing, configuring and managing it all from one place.
+
+Where you already have Node-RED installed, it isn't always a simple task to migrate over to the Device Agent. For example, when Node-RED is baked into the software stack provided by a device manufacturer.
+
+To solve that problem, we've started work on the Remote Agent Plugin, as an alternative choice to the full Device Agent - and the first release is now available as [`@flowfuse/nr-remote-agent`](https://flows.nodered.org/node/@flowfuse/nr-remote-agent).
+
+### Getting Started
+
+It can be installed into Node-RED via the Palette Manager just like any other node, and then walks you through the process of registering it as a 'lite' Remote Instance on a FlowFuse platform. From there, you have access to the Node-RED logs, a record of audit events, and automatically captured snapshots of your flows whenever you deploy changes.
+
+We'll be working to add more of the full Device Agent features to the plugin with each new release.
+
+For more information on how to get started, check the [Remote Agent documentation](https://flowfuse.com/docs/device-agent/plugin/overview/).
