I’m seeing “out of memory “but there’s no way this is the reason because I just upgraded and it’s already worked before and only one out of 4 GB memory are currently being used

I switched to Home Assistant yellow

How did you install nodered from a backup of the old system? I think you’ll need to install the addon, then import your flows.

3

It just got installed automatically when I restored my Home Assistant installation from my old system‘s backup

Update: I installed node red from scratch but now it says my Home Assistant version is too old for it and to be honest, I hate updating because it tends to come with a bunch of unexpected problems

Update 2: now it starts but says the credentials couldn’t be deciphered or something ( in German). what now?

4

Credential secret maybe? In the addon page config tab there is a credential secret entry. The default is nodered but if you changed it you will need to use whatever it was in the old installation.

5

I can’t find this tab and to my knowledge I never set credentials like that.

I found another error:

"Error: No credentials provided"

"User Not Authenticated"

That is the connection to home assistant. In a home assistant node, where it says server, is there a server defined? If it is there and If you are using the addon make sure that box is checked.

Otherwise make sure everything is entered correctly. If there isn’t a server create one.

7

There is a server defined, Home Assistant. Not sure what you mean by “make sure that box is checked”.

Besides, I’ve tried unchecking “Using the Home Assistant Addon” in a Home Assistant node’s server settings and entering an access token manually, just like a newer installation guide said. That didn’t do anything.

What now?

Edit: Fixed the issue by doubleclicking on the specific node that caused the error on the debug-tab on the right side of the screen and checking the box next to “Using the Home Assistant Addon” there.
