Ok, so aside from the npm update message, the output ends with: [image] gbond: All done. You can now start Node-RED with the command node-red-start or using the icon under Menu / Programming / Node-RED Then point your browser to localhost:1880 or http://{your_pi_ip-address}:1880 Have you …

yes its up and running but I am still left with the same issue I can't install my nodes 2020-03-08T15:04:07.984Z Install : node-red-contrib-smartthings 0.0.20 2020-03-08T15:04:08.046Z npm install --no-audit --no-update-notifier --save --save-prefix="~" --production node-red-contrib-smartthings@0…
