Node.js version v18.20.6 NPM version 10.8.2 O/S and last reboot Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) 2025-06-05 21:55:47 O/S install DT Node-red last started Mon 2025-08-25 19:57:07 AEST N/R version 4.0.9 [Screenshot from 2025-08-26 19-16-58] Sorry, but what do I need to do?

Go into your .node-red folder and run npm remove node-red-node-rbe and restart node red and refresh the browser. You don't need it any more as it is included in core as the filter node. Your flows will not be affected.

If you ever get stuck in dependency hell. Sometimes the quickest and safest solution is to manually delete the ~/.node-red/node_modules/ folder and then do an npm install. cd ~/.node-red/ rm -R node_modules npm install (stop node-red before doing that and then start it again afterwards.

Yes, if updating the led node, and then any other nodes that can be updated, doesn't do it, then follow Julian's advise. Note though that on a low spec pi it can take a long time to reinstall all the nodes. Significant fractions of an hour. I haven't found it necessary to stop node-red first, I ju…
