I know about it, I always reported the problem there too.

NR appears to be spontaneously updating the flows and losing the config to connect to HA.

I have updated my components so that I am now on version v3.1.3 of NR, 0.62.2 of node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket, v3.1.2 of the Home Assistant Node-RED Companion.

This started happening on the morning of 1/1/24:

It is happening every day and often at around 23:00 when I certainly wouldn’t be doing anything. Full log at this gist: Node RED log for lost config issue · GitHub

Any ideas of what could be causing this?

Hi guys, does this still work? is this the best way to integrate a remote NR installation with HA?

I have added the node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket palette to NR, generated a long lived access token in HA, then I setup the config node to speak to IPADDRESS:8123 and populted the password field with the token key.

But I receive “Invalid access token or password”

The key is obviously longer than what it looks in the screenshot, it seems to truncate it after I save the configuration module… is that normal?

nevermind… seems there are two websocket palettes, one has not been updated in 7 years… dont use that one!
