No status from tradfri since latest update 31-6-2021 #13

Closed EddyCapture closed 3 years ago

My tradfri equipment automatically had the last update via the ikea bridge on 31-6-2021. From that moment on I have no longer received the status of the connected lamps and plugs. Everything that is on my Pi 3B+ has now been updated with the latest update. But unfortunately I still get the message: not connected. This is because the bridge is not seen. IP address and security code were correct, and have been re-entered. Unfortunately no positive result.

Are you running the latest version? (0.4.7)

EddyCapture commented 3 years ago

No. I am running version 0.4.5. According to Node-Red UI: the latest version. I am unfamiliar with installing a newer version other than through the UI.

EddyCapture commented 3 years ago

update: installing v0.4.7 with lxterminal did not update the 0.4.5 version in node red. So I did something wrong. Most likely the installation path was wrong.

I'm not sure where and how you're running Node-RED, but generally speaking it creates a working directory under a user home folder (~/.node-red). In this folder you'll find a file called package.json. This file lists all of the nodes installed through the palette. You'll find node-red-contrib-ikea-tradfri in there, probably with version ~0.4.5. If you change this to ~0.4.7 and run npm install in this folder it will update to the new version. Afterwards you will need to restart Node-RED.

Thanks, that worked for me. Not sure why Node-RED is not picking up the update though.

EddyCapture commented 3 years ago

@mjwwit it took me a while to realize that .node-red was a hidden folder. I already installed and uninstalled something incorrectly. Unfortunately with error messages. During this install and uninstall I made quite a mess of it. Removing nodes via Palette was also no longer possible. So I am forced to reinstall everything. Unfortunately. Would be nice if you can still manage to update the ikea node via the palette.

This would indeed be nice, I don't know what else I can do to speed this up though... I'm glad you got it working though. I'll close this ticket now.
