Node-Red working, but can't edit anymore

Hi,

Title says it all. I use Node-Red to make all my automations in HA. This works nice, I find it visual very easy to create and adjust stuff.

Since a while, this is going bad. My automations work, but not very stable. If I go into Node-Red I can see everything, sometimes values change, but not stable. I can’t however change anything. If I want to change devices for example, the lists are empty, on new nodes or old ones that I try to change. I can no longer push the little square buttons on inject nodes, debug is empty and the logs seem to not work.

Everything visualy tells me Node-Red is dead, wierd thing is, all my flows run. I have some set up behind a button, they work. Other way around, I have some flows setting sensors with data, they don’t all work… Very wierd and realy grinding my gears here, help!

This sounds like the known issue on the HA addon for node red (eg. here). If you can use node red fine by accessing it via port 1880 that will probably be proof (you may need to enable the port in the config).

Try updating node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket to 0.74.2. You may need to use :1880 to do so. That fixed it for me.

Yes, this seems to be the issue, unfortunatly the solution did not work for me, though. Gonna follow the github, hope it gets fixed soon.

I wouldn’t hold your breath - there’s been similar open issues for quite a while. I’m pretty sure I had to do some editing of entities to get it fully working as well. If you hunt around in the issues you’ll find it I think.

I have the NR addon for HA, but I don’t actually use it - I only have it as a sandbox. I have a separate NR and I’ve not updated the HA addon for NR for ages because the service->action breaking change is going to take me too long to make it work (I have a lot of NR code setting payload.service and relying on domain being set in the node and this is all gone). So you could try downgrading to version 0.65.1, although I’m not sure how easy that is from within the NR addon.

Or give up and access via :1880 until the issues get closed.

Yeah, i’ve been reading the posts and this indeed dosn’t get me very happy -.-

Maybe this is the moment to go from NR to HA default automations, but I reeeeaaaaaly don’t want to start all over again.
