I have developed an alternative to node **node-red-node-pi-gpio** :

> **[@iiot2k/node-red-gpiox](https://flows.nodered.org/node/@iiot2k/node-red-gpiox)**

> Node-RED nodes for Raspberry Pi gpio

The gpio library is based on the character devices interface (V2) from the Linux operating system.  
Works also on Raspberry Pi 5.  
The used library can be also accessed with C++ and node.js.  
Here are the library links:
