Hi!

at the moment I'm trying unsuccessfully to install the node ' **node-red-contrib-smartnora**' for my Google Nest integration.

NodeRed is running on version 2.0.6.

Here is the log that is shown to me about the problem:

``-----------------------------------------------------------

``

if you need further information, just say it out loud.

Any ideas? I would be very thankful!

Not really funny at all. The smartnora node requires Node.js v12.19 or above and you are running on v10.19.0 which is no longer under support anyway.
