After updating node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket my programming almost unusable. I would have to restore backup. What can I do?

It looks like something is wrong with the connection data in the server config of the node. Have you already checked it?

There were also breaking changes with the new release:

> **[Release node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket v0.45.0 ·...](https://github.com/zachowj/node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket/releases/tag/v0.45.0#:~:text=BREAKING%20CHANGES,an%20empty%20string)**

> ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
> 
> Entity node is being deprecated. Use the individual entity nodes.
> In the get-entities node "starts with" and "contains" will no longer return true for an empty string
> 
> Features
> ...

But that doesn't seem to be the problem for you though.

For me, after the update and a Node-Red restart, the node also offered an update of the configuration. After that and a deploy everything seems to still work for me.
