I’ve been trying to install the node-red-contrib-lgtv module so that I can control my LG TV in node-red, but it appears to need build tools when I install it on the node-red install that’s part of HA.
My puzzle about this is that if I set up a node-red docker container, even the ‘minimal’ one which isn’t supposed to have build tools installed, I can install the lgtv module without any issue at all, and it seems to work fine. I just don’t want to have a separate node-red installation just for this.
Is the node-red package that’s installable on HA even more minimal than the ‘minimal’ docker image? Just looking at the package itself, it doesn’t even seem to need build tools to install, so I’m puzzled about what the HA node-red is even doing when I try to install the package.
I have installed other items into my palette on HA, like pushover and mytimer, and those worked fine, so this is a bit of a puzzle for me.
Any ideas?
