Node-Red - Some discussion about outdated crap involved with Node-RED
NotANick:
Found the problem, node.js was way too old a version. Pain in the ass to update since package manager didn't have any update since 4.0.XX and the latest version is 10.something. npm is also way out dated and I can't use sudo to update it, need to use su BUT password does not let me su. Finally found a way to update node.js and now nodered finds the lights just fine and I can turn them on/off easy.
Tinker:
strange... pretty sure everything on my automation server is actually older than on yours...
NotANick:
you don't use the hue palette, it requires node.js 8.X or above. upgraded to 8.X and a reboot and everything works great, even the dim level is displayed on the flow
Tinker:
good to know... maybe I should look into upgrading everything just in case...
NotANick:
might be a plan. latest is 10.X but I used 8.X since Hue palette was tested in 8.X . almost everything working fine except I can't dim the lights yet but still working on that.... ;)
Tinker:
I had noticed that there's a lot of outdated & deprecated shit involved with Node-Red...
