New and improved Node-RED Plus

After nearly a month of testing, I am happy to offer the completely refactored app Node-RED Plus.

This new release lets you upgrade from Node-RED 4.x to 5.x and from Node.js 22 to 24 on your own terms: choose the versions you want to run in the app configuration.

This release also:

  • includes optional support for jemalloc to optimize memory allocations
  • caches installed extra system and NPM packages for offline (re-)install on each app restart

This in addition to the previous features:

  • FlowFuse Dashboard (aka Dashboard 2.0) including usable third-party widgets
  • a flexible URL namespace (not restricted to /endpoint)
  • Node-RED projects support
  • transient and persistent context storage enabled by default
  • static content support enabled by default
  • improved app configuration labels and descriptions
  • configurable usage telemetry, disabled by default

Enjoy.

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the dashboard of an app.
