Change in MQTT input node?

General
1

I recently installed my Ai system at a friends shop. Virgin Linux install. Everything was working fine except the node-red flow that does the Email notifications and dashboard controller to set the operating mode.

Turns out there is a "new" property on the MQTT input node to select string or buffer output. Half of the mqtt input nodes from my import-->clipboard installation ended up with the wrong setting. My 19.5 node-red systems don't have this property. I believe his system ended up with 20.5

Its just something I need to be aware of going forward and, maybe a useful heads up to someone who might encounter this after an update or when like me, moving a flow to a new installation.

Yep, I have seen that as well. If I remember, I think in my case, the "old" flows where "migrated" so that auto-detect became the actual setting. In most cases, this worked fine but I did have some problems in some few nodes where i had to select the proper type
