First, I am a newb at node-red. In my project, I would love to use the LED. However, it does not work. The field for the page/group does not populate with the groups I already created. I can type in the name of a group but the node does not attach to that page.

I have tried this four times with the following configuration:  
Fresh install of RPi OS dated July 4, 2024 on my RPi-4 with latest updates. Setting time, location, language and static IP. Install node-red from the RPi install script. Install latest Dashboard2 package from palette manager. Install node-red-contrib-ui-led package from the palette manager, ver 0.4.11. The results are always the same.

The attached graphic shows what happens when I start node-red after a led node has been added to the flow. I would appreciate any suggestion to get this to work. Thank you for your help.

The Dashboard 2.0 equivalent node is:

> **[@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led](https://flows.nodered.org/node/@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led)**
>
> A simple LED status indicator for the Node-RED Dashboard 2.0

Any nodes for Dashboard 2.0 with have `dashboard-2` in their name.

Note too that you'll need to restart Node-RED after the install in order for the component to load properly on your Dashboard.

P.s. welcome to the forums and Node-RED!
