I'm using version 1.0.4 installed by ibm cloud. the red panel version of the node is 2.19.4.  
I used the chrome and firefox browser.  
there was no error in the browser console.

The error happens if you use the `manage palette` feature to install the node on IBM Cloud.

You should edit the application's package.json file to add the node instead - [https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-node-red-starter-application/#step-6-add-extra-nodes-to-your-node-red-palette](https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-node-red-starter-application/#step-6-add-extra-nodes-to-your-node-red-palette)

This is because if you use the `manage palette` feature on IBM Cloud, the application has to dynamically reinstall all of your extra nodes whenever the application is restarted. If the microphone node installs _before_ the node-red-dashboard node, then it cannot register itself with the dashboard (the push error you see).

If you add them to `package.json` instead, then the extra nodes will be preinstalled into the application image that gets run - so everything is in place and it all works.

Hi Nick,

just a short question: is it possible to have your ui\_microphone button started from another button, or to have the audio capture started and stoped with values such as true and false?

Thanks in advance,  
Philipp

I suspect turning microphones on remotely is against all sorts of privacy considerations

maybe I expressed myself not as clear as I wanted to...

I don't want to have it turned on remotely, but I want to have the possibility to activate the capturing of audio through another button or a flow to create something like a doorbell.

Like pressing a button to take a picture from a camera and to record the audio

Hope to be a little more clear now

In terms of how the browser security model works, having anything other that a direct user interaction on the page is considered 'remote' and is not allowed.

Even a separate button - when the user clicks it, the event triggers a Node-RED flow in the runtime. To start recording, an event needs to come back into the browser - at which point its a 'remote' request that is not tied to the in-browser click event.
