I somehow screwed up my node-red again and have this reacuring message

'Lost connection to server, reconnecting in 1s. [Try now]'

How do I find out what is causing it ?

Have a look at your node-RED log to see if an error is reported.  
Also, what did you do immediately before getting the problem?

I tried to load a Blynk node and gave up as I couldn't get it to work. Then I discovered everything had gone ! all flows gone, so I reloaded a backup I had of the files from /home/pi/.node-red to discover this problem .

You haven't told us anything about your hardware or operating system, but on a pi it's usually `node-red-log`

It might be better to capture the log from when node-RED starts, so we can see the full log

First stop node-RED  
`node-red-stop`

Then start node-RED  
`node-red-start`

node-RED will then start printing the log.

If you can copy everything after the line  
`Starting as a systemd service.`

(you can stop the logging using Ctrl + C)

You have some grumbles from node-RED about `node-red-contrib-modbus` & `node-red-contrib-telegrambot`, but there is an error showing about json format from a node that you are using.

I would stop node-RED  
`node-red-stop` & restart it in 'safe' mode `node-red-start -safe`

That should enable you to search for the node which is presenting the problem, and resolve it.

Once started, go to the hamburger top right, and search flow for `a9a42e8d.a71b4` which should identify the node.

Once you've cleared the problem, stop and start node-RED using `node-red-start`

I tried removing both the nodes but generated an error , I'll try the way you mentioned

I wouldn't have removed them, as the main **error** is the JSON issue. The node problems are just **warnings**.  
When you start up in safe mode, I would re-add those nodes again.

Neither of those nodes were used just remnants from me reloading old json files I copied, hence I deleted them. I still getting the reconnect error though 🤔

Did you do this?  
It seems to me that you have some wrongly formatted json at, or just before that node.

You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

I've no idea where the warnings are coming from, I don't use Telegram, watson or Modbus anymore - I was just experimenting ages ago and subsequently deleted them I thought

From the hamburger menu select Configuration Nodes and I suspect you will find some unused ones there. Delete them. You should have got a warning about them in the little popup on each deploy.

What I did notice from the hamburger is On all flows shows and the other shows none ?

Do you still get the error with those nodes installed?

I reloaded the .json files from the backup of them back into the .node-red folder and restart nodered and I get the same lost connection message.

One thing did cross my mind is the error coming from the webpage it self or a server ?  
The modbus node says this

And telegram

Also I did notice there isn't any debug info in the debug tab window ?
