Node-RED - Cannot update Home Assistant nodes: Module not locally installed

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi all,

My RPI Hass.io setup has been dealing with some memory leakage that I have narrowed down to the Node-RED integration. In an effort to identify and eliminate possible causes, I noticed that the integration was running an old version of the Home Assistant nodes (node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket, version 0.2.0 vs. 0.3.1).

When I try to update, I get the following error message:

Capture%202

I have checked the Hass.io system log and Node-RED integration log, as well as the home-assistant.log file, but I don’t see any events related to this attempt to update.

Is anybody familiar with this error message (or better yet, phantom Node-RED memory leaks)? Many thanks. :slight_smile:

Same issue here. I think because the plugin gets shipped with the addon you can’t update it on your own. that means you have to wait for an add-on update from the creator of the plugin

That is correct you need to wait for the add-on to be updated to use the latest update unless you add a npm command to your add-on config.
