Bah, you name it. I’m just finishing up swapping my (unfinished) setup to Hass.io, since that feels like where a lot of the energy is right now. I was on Hassbian yesterday. There’s about three different techniques and methods to installing Node-RED on Hassbian and I couldn’t get a single one of them to connect to my HA instance. I searched and Googled and Bing-ed until I went nuts, trying to find out what kind of authentication we’re supposed to need. Some mysterious api: entry in configuration.yaml? Some kind of hashed token from node-red itself? Our usual HA password? Every single one of them got me the "cannot GET Homeassistant " message from a server node.
Meanwhile, I hear the modular-install Hass.io version has gone 1.0 (over 1.0 by now) and people are running it with big smiles.
I’m just frustrated, that’s all. This is a great project but I’ve had a really lousy last few weeks in the real world. Burnout happens.
