[20:06:27] FATAL: Please be sure to set the "credential\_secret" option.
[20:06:27] FATAL:
[20:06:27] FATAL: The credential secret is an encryption token, much like
[20:06:27] FATAL: a password, that is used by Node-RED for encrypting
[20:06:27] FATAL: credentials you put into Node-RED.
[20:06:27] FATAL:
[20:06:27] FATAL: Just like a password, a credential secret can be
[20:06:27] FATAL: anything you like. Just be sure to store it somewhere
[20:06:27] FATAL: safe for later, e.g., in case of a recovery.

[20:06:27] FATAL:
[20:06:27] FATAL: SSL has been enabled using the 'ssl' option,
[20:06:27] FATAL: this requires a SSL certificate file which is
[20:06:27] FATAL: configured using the 'certfile' option in the
[20:06:27] FATAL: add-on configuration.
[20:06:27] FATAL:
[20:06:27] FATAL: Unfortunately, the file specified in the
[20:06:27] FATAL: 'certfile' option does not exists.
[20:06:27] FATAL:
[20:06:27] FATAL: Please ensure the certificate file exists and
[20:06:27] FATAL: is placed in the '/ssl/' directory.
[20:06:27] FATAL:
[20:06:27] FATAL: In case you don't have SSL yet, consider getting
[20:06:27] FATAL: a SSL certificate or setting the 'ssl' option
[20:06:27] FATAL: to 'false' in case you are not planning on using
[20:06:27] FATAL: SSL with this add-on.
[20:06:27] FATAL:
[20:06:27] FATAL: Check the add-on manual for more information.

Sorry, looks like a Home Assistant issue, not a node-red one. You'll need to ask on their forum.
