Drop down lists not populating with entities reliably

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Edit: I dont know what this update did but i cant manually start an inject node either. When I hover over the “button”, my cursor just changes to the 4 arrows…

Ever since updating my nodes (see this thread:Why does the entity that is friendly named EXACTLY what I typed, not the first result? - #9 by nappyjim ) now when I start typing in an entities box or an action box, it wont be populated. Seems like a restart of HA fixes it, but previous to updating the stuff in node red, it always worked. I just had the search issue I described in the linked post.

Try connecting directly to Node-RED via port 1880 instead of through the Home Assistant interface. Also, the notify domain shouldn’t display targets, as it doesn’t support them.

Maybe that was a bad example, but even the actions area, where notify is, would not populate. I had to manually type in the entire domain.

But I connected to homeassistant.local:1880 and now I was able to press on inject and my lists were populated!

Has anyone found a fix to enable using Node-RED directly within HA again? Directly accessing it is less than ideal. Grateful for the workaround, though!

For anyone wanting to track this problem, it looks like a Github issue was just created:
