Oh yeah, wow, I feel stupid, sorry for wasting your time. I did manually trigger it. That makes sense…
I am a big Node-Red fan and have a lot of flows etc written in it. I am in the process of slowly implementing HA (running on a Virtual Machine with the official Virtual machine config of HASSoS etc)
I intend to continue running NR in a seperate Virtual machine - is this a support config for your node i.e. two seperate Virtual machines instead of Docker containers etc ?
By the Way Great NODE !!!

What step did you miss in the documentation? I have the same problem but can’t see what I did wrong. Maybe your input could help? Thanks!
go to configuration/integrations and choose node-red…you have to install it (again)…apparently HACS brings the package in, but doesn’t actually install it…you have to do the extra step.

Just updated and now I’m getting an error on restart of node red.
4 Aug 17:18:09 - [info] Waiting for missing types to be registered:
4 Aug 17:18:09 - [info] - server
And in node-red:
Appears to be stuck, not sure what to do.
*edit: tried console rolling back to version 0.22.0 but still stuck with the same error now 
*edit 2: console update to version 0.22.6 and now it appears to be working. 
*edit: Ran Node-Red -V and got this message in the console:

Solution: Thanks to @Kermit for his help, updating NodeJS to version 12.18.3 eliminated the error.

Its OK now - there was a temporary outage with the NPM repository earlier this evening

Unfortunately due to the 115 update, I had to setup a complete new ha instance.
But anyway, currently everything is running quite nice, except Node-red websocket which is quite critical for me.
My HA system + proxmox
arch x86_64
chassis vm
dev false
docker true
docker_version 19.03.11
hassio true
host_os HassOS 4.13
installation_type Home Assistant OS
os_name Linux
os_version 5.4.63
python_version 3.8.5
supervisor 245
timezone Europe/Berlin
version 0.115.2
virtualenv false
NodeRed addon: Current version: 7.2.0
HACS Node Red: v0.4.4
I followed the instucktions:
- Installed Node Red in HACS
- Restarted HA
- Opend Integrations,
but Node-RED is not listed. Whatever I do, tried all avaliable versions but always same result. In my old HA 114 its working perfect. Just have no idea what to try. Btw. can’t find any error in logs regarding Node red…
Any advise is much appreciated.
Thanks
Edit:
after few hours suddenly it just worked, I’ve just tried everything in different order, so I can’t tell what exactly fixed my issue, but anyway thanks

The hassio add-on picked up 0.27.0, and a lot of my flows use the msg.data.new_state.attributes which was fixed in 0.27.1. When I try to use the latest package by configuring hassio with npm_packages overrides (below), the log shows that it installs 0.27.1 OK, but with lots “does not exist” errors. Then, unsurprisingly, node-red says the nodes are missing.
Anyone else seeing this and have a fix?
Thanks!

I created a bunch of sensors in Home Assistant via this wonderful integration.
Am I correct in thinking that sensors created via Node Red that then appear in Home Assistant … should then appear back within Node Red to be leveraged within flows?
I have a Node Red flow that takes JSON data and turns it into a sensor with an output.
That sensor then correctly appears in HA.
But for some reason that sensor is not appearing in Node Red when i try to create a ‘current state’ node. All my other hundreds of sensors and other entities obviously appear, but none of the ones I created via Node Red.
Not sure if it takes more time for the autocompleted to work (it’s been 30 min or so) or what.
Thanks!
Is there any fix to “Sensor update attempted without connection to server.” besides disabling custom integrations in HA? Disabling custom integrations is making HA kind of obsolete, if HA is empty there is no use for running HA… Below is the underlying problem as far as I understand.
20-10-08 10:11:34 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.api.proxy] WebSocket access from a0d7b954_nodered
20-10-08 10:11:34 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.api.proxy] Home Assistant WebSocket API request running

20-10-08 10:11:35 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.api.proxy] Home Assistant WebSocket API connection is closed
Node-RED integration pulls all the HA information in one API request that in turn ends up in a too large request.
When adding entities from any source it should be close to instant for them showing in up in NR. If this doesn’t happen for you there is probably a caching issue of the autocomplete results in your browser.
@hrdejong
As far as my knowledge goes there is currently no way to change how this package queries the entities from HA. What custom integration as you using that store’s so much information in the entity list?
You could try bypassing the hass.io proxy and connecting directly to HA but that might not work either as it’s the aiohttp python library that is setting the hard limit on message size.
