Upgraded to HA .83 and Node-Red broke (Docker)

Third party integrations
1

I’m running HA and Node-Red in Docker containers on a Ubuntu 18 server. It’s been working perfectly for months. Integration through HA and logic through Node-Red connection through API password.

I upgraded to HA .83 this morning and now Node-Red will not connect. “Home Assistant connection failed with error”

Anyone else seeing this?

It seems the API PASSWORD authentication stopped working. I have solved it by switching to Long-Lived Access Tokens. HA DASHBOARD stopped working too…

I’m gearing up to upgrade as well, how do you integrate with the long live token?

I don’t know if there is an easier way, but i had to backup my flows, delete everything to be able to uninstall node-red-contrib-home-assistant palette and then installed node-red-contrib-home-assistant-llat and then restored my flows… complicated…

Oh dang, and the llat is the proper fork of Node Red to use? It’s being maintained?

The llat palette seems to be newer version image

Thanks. I’ll give it a shot.

Can I propose node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket?
It should work as well (or even better since it uses the official HA websockets package),
but would need a long-lived access token too.
