Hi! English is not my native language so forgive any mispelling.

1. My very first time with Node Red;
2. I did a fresh install in my Raspberry Pi 3B+ running the script that I found on [nodered.org](http://nodered.org);
3. I just installed "node-red-contrib-lgtv" so I can do some automation with my LG TV;
4. The error on the title always occurs when I add my TV's IP in any of the nodes. I just click "connect" after typing my IP and when I deploy I lose connection with the server.
5. My TV is wired. I tried changing to WiFi, tried changing VLAN and also connecting the TV in the same network as Raspberry Pi but no success.
6. In order to get things working again I need to enter in safe mode and delete the node;
7. I'm using Edge on Windows 10 to access the dashboard.

Am I doing something wrong? ☹

There is an [issue on github](https://github.com/hobbyquaker/node-red-contrib-lgtv/issues/45) about this node crashing Node-Red v2

It has not been updated for more than 2 years so there may be nobody to fix the issue.

Thank you very much! At least I know now that It may be not my fault. Unfortunately I was trying Node Red specifically because of this node once I'm a SmartThings user and needed to integrated both. ☹ 😔

There may be other ways to access it. Perhaps some internet searching would turn up ways of interacting using HTTP(S) requests? (AKA a REST API).

You could always run the script again and specify an older node-red version known to work with the lgtv node. Although I don't know what that version would be.
