Hello. My guess is that you are using an outdated version of Nodejs, please verify and get back to me. Use Node-Red Version 3.x.x and Nodejs >=14.18.0

[Pino72de]

NodeJs is 14.18.0 and Node Red is 3.2.0

[Pino72de]

NPM is 6.14.15

I could try to update to Node Red 3.3.1 and see if that changes anything...?

[Isaksson]

I dont think that updating Node-RED will solve the issue but its good to be at the latest update, and maybe update Node.js to 14.20

[Isaksson]

I will make some tests and see if I could replicate your issue

[Isaksson]

By the way, its seems like the node has been updated from your log, after reboot does it work as it should or did the installation fail?

[Pino72de]

No it did not install, node is not in the palette list and trying again gave the same error.

[Pino72de]

Ah no, it only shows which version is the newest and available....I had Node 16.x and a lot of adapters did not work or I could not install anymore so I went back to 14.x where everything works.....till now :-) Your Unifi is the first that gave me an error

Maybe this helps:

[Isaksson]

That error indicates that the Node-RED version is below 3.0.0 and that why the module does not install.

[Pino72de]

Ok, so that's strange...let me install the newest over it and see....

[Pino72de]

Ok, I found the problem...even though iobroker says he installed 3.3.x node red is still on 2.2 and gave me the welcome tour of 2.2...I think I will have to completely setup node red again. THanks for your help!

[Isaksson]

That's good, then we know the reason.
