node red forgets the alexa skill - what to do? #37

Closed bikeadventure closed 6 years ago

bikeadventure commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I managed to install the palette in node red (v0.15.3) but it does not really work. First I cannot chose the devices I added on your bridge page after having registered with my credentials. I tried with two accounts, both fail. bildschirmfoto 2017-12-11 um 22 47 32

After reloading the node red programming web page the newly installed palette is forgotten, I receive an error message: "Imported unrecognised types: alexa-home, alexa-home-conf". The alexa home node and its connection to the next node are dotted lines then. bildschirmfoto 2017-12-11 um 22 12 10

I tried this several times on two different raspberries.

What is wrong?

Regards

Peter

I seam to remember seeing this with either that version of Node-RED or a back level version of NodeJS.

Please upgrade Node-RED to 17.x and probably make sure you are on at least Node 6.x (anything else it very out of support these days).

If you still have a problem after that, then please supply node-red logs and check the browser console for any errors

Dumb me, updating to recent node red version 0.17.5 did the trick. Thanks a lot!
