I’ve never seen this before, but when I run an action I sometimes receive a Node-Red log ‘Home Assistant: Error 253’.
Has anyone seen this before? I did check google and it seems to be a very general error relating to Node-Red trying to perform an action on a property that does not exist. The problem is that the property DOES exist. It’s an action to turn on some Christmas Lights. It works about 50% of the time and I have no idea why I receive this error. I tried to end-around the error by having the action retrigger, but it repeats the error.
