What it shows, if I am right, is that a lot of people have been doing a lot of work over the past year. However, there are breaking changes (yellow highlights) and inter-dependencies (red lines).
The Node-RED companion integration (NRC) depends on a given HA version, and also on a given HA Websocket Node version. Hence v3.0+ needs HA 2023.7+ and HAWN 0.57.0+
The Websocket Nodes (HAWN) depend on a given HA version, and on a given Node-RED version. Hence HAWN 0.57.0 needs NR v3+ and HA2023.3+.
The Node-RED addon (NRA) comes with a base version of Node-RED, and a base version of the HA Websocket Nodes. Hence from v14.5.0 onwards this is based on Node-RED V3.1. and NRA v14.5.0 matches with HAWN 0.56.1 (and therefore will not support Companion v3.0.0+ without upgrade)
I am not aware of a back-dependency status between HA Websocket Nodes on the Companion, but I assume that HAWN v0.57.0+ work only/best with NRC v3+
0.62.0 came out this morning, still doesn’t fix the issue… When node-red is restarted, the home-assistant add-on is no longer installed in node-red… I need to re-install it, and then works until I restart Nodered again.
FYI, for those having issues, here;s what I did to revert back (Home-Assistant supervised):
1- stop Node-red addon
2- on your home-assistant OS:
cd /usr/share/hassio/addon_configs/a0d7b954_nodered
sudo vi package.json
3- in the package.json file, locate the node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket
4- change the version to “~0.59.0”
5- save and exit
6- start Node-red addon.
Welcome to Node-RED
===================
14 Dec 16:38:03 - [info] Node-RED version: v3.1.0
14 Dec 16:38:03 - [info] Node.js version: v18.18.2
14 Dec 16:38:03 - [info] Linux 5.15.0-91-generic x64 LE
I’m wondering at this point if it’s even tested against the Supervised Node-Red Addon version.
In the following issue report frenck explains that the problem is addressed and the next release of the addon is stuck awaiting a QMEU bug. The solution is to NOT manually update.
The Node-RED addon will be updated in due course. Manually updating just the WebSocket nodes beyond the version currently shipped within Node-RED addon is, in this case, not a good idea.
Thanks for sharing this, it worked for me to get my HA stable again… and just in time. We’ve had some nasty weather today where the power has flickered nearly a dozen times.
Cool! Ok, for step 2, you need to log in to your Home-Assistant’s underlying OS.
When logged in, you cna navigate to where the nodered addon configs reside (usually) → cd /usr/share/hassio/addon_configs/a0d7b954_nodered
once in that directory, you can edit the package.json file. I used vi, but you can use nano of any other text editor you have availalable.
Step #3, while editing package.json in your text editor, locate the line that mentions node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket module, and the version currently installed. Change that version number to ~0.59.0, save and exit.
now restart your nodered addon and you should be good.
Sorry, I have hassio on RP4, but I can’t go to the folder you indicated.
I connect with putty, but under /usr/share I can’t find the hassio folder.
