Server and State not appearing in the palette

[bramco]

Just installed your contribution and I can see the List, On and Off nodes in the pallette but not the Server and State.

I used node red manage palette to install assume there is no difference between this and a manual install?

I will create a screenshot of my node-red and show what I see in my installation. Maybe that helps as a starting point for our conversation about, what is not working on your side. As I currently do not understand what you are expecting, and where you are expecting this.

Great.

But maybe I've put the issue in the wrong place and it should be on the simple sonoff server but appreciate any help with this.

To give you a bit more detail, when I install using manage palette, then I get a message saying all 5 nodes are installed (server, state, on, off and list). Then when I look at the palette after the install all I can see is 'State'. If I reload node red then all I can see is 'On', 'Off' and 'List'. So something weird is happening.

So there should be 4 items

when you add one to the flow chart, and double-click it, you see "add new server" + edit

there you can enter all information you need

the server will be started with node-red...but it does not have its own icon.

Hi,

Mine looks like below, so not State. I noticed as I mentioned earlier that when I have newly installed these nodes all I see is State. When I reopen node-red I then see what is below but no State. Which is a bit weird.

I also don't get the edit symbol for the server info. See below.

Can you please go to the folder in node-red, an update the simple-sonoff-server code manually?

Node-red restart shows this

Which I'm sure isn't right - the unexpected tokens.

I'm now back with only List, On and Off showing and no edit symbol for the server as before.

Fixed, I needed to update node-red. I think I'd assumed that node-red was updated with an apt-get update upgrade but read somewhere else that it needs updating using the update-nodejs-and-nodered command.

Did that and half an hour later after re-installing everything it is up and running. Hope this will help anyone else with issues. Do a 'proper' node-red update before trying to install!!

Sorry obviously if I've had you scratching your head trying to work out what was wrong.
