On my configuration, I have with a teleinfo module the capacity to monitor my energy consumption
This module is connected to my raspberry pi4 (that host HA) with an USB connector. But in Node-Red, I was obliged to declare a Serial connection in order to read my electric meter.
By removing the USB connector, I immediately retrieve access to NodeRed interface.
So, now, I have to wait for a new NodeRed module update.
I hope that my explanation are clear and can help most of you
Exact. I had the same behavior, and if you are in 11.0.4 version and use Serial port (even if it’s through an USB), remove it and normally you’ll retrieve access to NodeRed
If none of this helps, restart nodered, wait 2-3 minutes, go to the nodered log page and post the output. Also what type of home assistant install are you using.
I had the same errors. The problem was an esphome sensor (which triggers some automations in node red) which was having problems and changing state many times per second
I am having the same problems with Node Red as soon as I plug a USB to serial adaptor into the raspberry pi. It prevents access to Node Red. I have tried both FTDI and Prolific usb to serial adaptors. Within a few seconds of removing the adapter, I can access Node Red again. Everything else in HA seems fine. If I try using port 1880 whilst the USB adaptor is plugged in, I get the NGinx “Bad Gateway” screen - all is fine as as soon as I unplug the adaptor. Really annoying as there seems no other way to use a bi-directional serial link to an external device for use. Guess we will just have to wait. I don’t know how one reports this kind of problem.
I am having the same issue with a Envi Cost serial interface, the port works fine using the terminal and receives data properly but Node-Red Serial component does not connect and does hang the interface. Removing the USB adaptor allows the UI to work again.
It seems to me the Node-Red Serial component does not have the correct privs to connect and hangs when constantly retrying!
I tried that, same. The fact that the Pi can see it and works using a terminal application tells me it’s purely the HA/Serial components at fault. -Thanks for that though
