I am trying to set a child value in firebase but every time i try to deploy, i receive the message "Lost connection to server", "i am using node-red-contrib-firebase" nothing is show to me different on cmd.
I did everything just like this tutorial [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IItfEkeh9cA&t=14s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IItfEkeh9cA&t=14s).

Start node red in a terminal, if you are on a pi and used the recommended pi install script then that do this by
```auto
node-red-stop
node-red
```
and post the resulting log here.

Makes no sense this doesn't work what i think is that this pallet doesn't work anymore with Firebase.

Have a look at the [node's github page](https://github.com/deldrid1/node-red-contrib-firebase). It says "unfortunately, this repo is no longer maintained and is known to not work with the latest versions of node-red / Firebase."
