Error in huejay

General
1

Hi,
Since several days, my flow restarts several times a day (1 - 5 times / day).
I use noed-red v2.05 on a pi4.

Sep 13 14:19:34 PI2 Node-RED[5594]: HuejayError: Huejay: read ECONNRESET

Sep 13 14:19:54 PI2 systemd[1]: Started Node-RED graphical event wiring tool.

Due to the log I can see, that the error occurs in huejay. But I have no idea, what happens and why. Does any of you have an idea?

2

Are you using huejay in a function node or is it used by a contrib node? If you are using it in a function node then you need to catch that exception to stop it crashing node-red.

3

I do not use it directly in a function node, but I belive it is used by node-red-contrib-huemagic (3.0.0) and node-red-contrib-light (1.0.0)

4

Restart node-red using
node-red-stop;node-red-start
Post the startup output here. Then wait for it to fail again and post the section showing the errors, show us the last bits of the log before the failure and then until it restarts.

I would start by fixing the errors shown in the startup log.

This was a left configuration node of a tool, which wasn't in use any longer. I removed it. So only warnings remain now.

You can uninstall node-red-node-rbe, it has been superseded by the filter node. That will remove that warning (it won't cause any problems as it is though).

I will do this today :). Thks

I had hoped there might be more clues there, but apparently not. What does this command show, from your .node-red folder?
npm list huejay

13 
node-red-project@0.0.1 /home/pi/.node-red
└─┬ node-red-contrib-huemagic@3.0.0
  └── huejay@1.9.0

I appreciate your help!

It is a bug in the huemagic node. All exceptions should be caught by the node in order that node-red does not crash. Looking at the issues on the node's github page I see that there are several unaddressed issues where uncaught exceptions crash node red. Unfortunately it appears that the node is not supported. for example Unplugging Hue Bridge Crashes Node-Red · Issue #237 · Foddy/node-red-contrib-huemagic · GitHub

Thanks for your help. At least I know, that it's a bug. I'll take a look, if I can rebuild my flow without huemagic.

As interim solution I did the hack in in Transport.js (huejay) below. Yes, it's terible as it says in the comment, but it works ;).

return result;
      })
      .catch(error => {
	
	// Prevent network failures to throw errors
	return false;

        if (error instanceof HuejayError) {
          throw error;
        }

        throw new HuejayError({
          message: error.message
        });
	
      });
  }
}

module.exports = Transport;
