When I load node red from the browser it says "Error Adding Flows, Imported duplicate node" the node in question is Victron-Client-id [victron-client]
As it has taken me a few days to get to the point I can talk to the Victron wondered if someone could help me please ........ I'm very new to node red and have don Eno programming!!
Welcome to the forum @davenrea
Please stop node red then start it in a terminal copy/paste the startup log here. When you paste it in click the </> button at the top of the forum entry window and paste the text in.
Also tell us what OS/HW node red is running on.
Hi Colin, thanks for the quick reply. It is running on a raspberry pi, not sure how I see exactly what OS it is running - I'm seriously new to this!!

If you are just starting I suggest you spend an hour watching the Node red Essentials videos which are linked from the node-red docs.
I see you have been trying to install nodes manually from the command line. You can do that if you want to, but you must do it from the .node-red folder. However it is usually easier to do it from within node-red using the Manage Palette option from the hamburger menu.
You seem to have some issues with the tplink smarthome node, which I don't know anything about, but for some reason it won't connect, similarly your influxdb node won't connect. Have you installed the influxdb server?
I don't see any messages there about the victron node. It might be worth clearing the browser cache and refreshing the node-red page to see if the error goes away, I have never seen that error. Is there a Recovery tab if you look in node-red? If so then it will contain 'lost' nodes that node red has found, you can safely delete those.
Finally there were some fixes in node-red 1.2.6, so it would be worth running the pi install/upgrade script again to update.
Thanks agin, started the videos, look helpful, will have to finish later wife is using words like nurd and geek!! I did start installing from the command line because that's what I thought I had to do but since found otherwise. The uplink was something in someone else's flow, I don't need them and will be deleting them as I and trying to set something up for controlling my Victron solar pv with the octopus agile tariff, Maybe I should try a fresh install after the videos and learning how to do the installing of 1.2.6.
Just so you don't think I am mad look at this project, I was working on it with a friend who is a software engineer and he was writing it as a bespoke program but unfortunately he died 5 weeks ago, young chap and marathon runner, had a heart issue no one knew about so I am determined to finish the project and this seems the only way I stand a chance!!
cheers
Dave
If you want to start again with a blank canvas all you need to do is to stop node red, delete the .node-red folder and restart node red.
excellent!!, I've just been trying to find out how to do this, thanks
OK, so I have updated to latest. deleted the .node-red folder loaded @victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron and then just brought in a single node from Victron to monitor the battery and connected the output to debug. As soon as I refresh the page from a clean browser it tells me there is a duplicate of the * victron-client-id [ victron-client ] node. Even tried it on a different computer.
The flow I made continues in the background showing the battery voltage in the debug section but I can't see the flow on the main screen and I can't get rid of the error box without going through the deleting .node-red folder and starting again
any thoughts please?
When you have an error with a node it is always worth looking at node's github page (assuming it has one, it should be linked from the node's page in the node red flows site) and checking the issues there. This one, though the title no longer matches your symptom, explains the problem. I think you will just have to wait for a new release of the node. You could add a comment to the issue asking if there was any progress on it as it is preventing you from using the node. https://github.com/victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron/issues/66

Thanks once again, just waiting for an update from them or a suggested work around.
