I have been using v2.x of VSH for a while and ran into something not working so decided to update.  
I cannot install from the palette at all - getting the following: (I'm afraid I'm non the wiser!)

```auto
> 2022-10-08T11:52:05.631Z npm install --no-audit --no-update-notifier --no-fund --save --save-prefix=~ --production node-red-contrib-virtual-smart-home@3.0.1
> 2022-10-08T11:52:09.615Z [err] npm
> 2022-10-08T11:52:09.619Z [err]  
> 2022-10-08T11:52:09.619Z [err] WARN config production Use `--omit=dev` instead.
> 2022-10-08T11:52:17.662Z [err] (node:31753) Warning: Setting the NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED environment variable to '0' makes TLS connections and HTTPS requests insecure by disabling certificate verification.
> 2022-10-08T11:52:17.662Z [err] (Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

```

I trying installing from the cmd using npm and it appeared to install OK but NR does not show it as installed when I restart it.

I have tried general install and uninstall of other contributions from palette and they all work - apart from VSH.

No sorry. Nothing so far.

I have put it on a back burner for now. I was looking at moving over to VSH but am sticking with the old node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel option for now.

You have to update your Node-Red to the latest version, since VSH works only with \>3.0
