Cannot install node-red-contrib-home-assistant on Node-RED Hass.io Add-On

[matt1as]

I'm trying to install node-red-contrib-home-assistant on a clean install of Node-RED Hass.io Add-On, but the install silently fails, and the node is still available as "installable" in the palette. This is the log I can see in hassio.

Also the node is not added to package.json which I guess it should be?

I have the same issue.

I have installed a node-red that works fine. Then I installed a HA in the same raspberry and works fine too. Now I installed node-red-contrib-home-assistant from the Manage Palette option in the menu. It installed with any message but their nodes does not appears in palette.

Any help will be appreciated. Adrian

Hi,

I found something in the log that can be useful for the resolving the issue:

I will try to understand where is the problem.

Hi @alasso,

I had a similar issue today when installing these HA nodes. After a bit of searching and wasted time, it turned out that the default node-red container uses node-v6 [0], which is not supported [1].

For anyone else stumbling on this. If you are using the nodered/node-red-docker docker image then you need to use the v8 tag.

I continue to have this issue installing the latest version. No Docker.

I would say: Use the community version of the add-on:
