Building a new server, which will include latest Zwave node's. But installing from the cli using "npm" or from "Manage Palette", the Splitter node is not installed. Needs some guidance as to were to start looking for the problem....

Which version of `node-red-contrib-zwave-js` is shown in Manage Palette? The project's v11 changelog calls the old Event Filter node Event Splitter, so the exact installed version matters here. Are any of the other Z-Wave nodes visible in the palette?

Maintainer of the module here 👋

As noted above, this Node was renamed (they all were)  
But the error already calls for its new name.

The splitter Node, doesn't have any special requirements to appear in the palette, so Node RED start up/module install logs will be nice to see.

And I couldn't but help notice: _which will include **latest** Zwave node's_

Ensure to check the full change log if migrating from \<11.

After version 11.1.1 was installed the nodes "Controller", "Device" and "CMD Factory" were available, but no "Event Splitter". After checking the logs for errors which I found none. I tried one last things was to stop and restart node-red. Then the "Event Splitter node was in available. So the issue is resolved, but why "Event Splitter" did not show up with the others after initial installation, and required restart of node-red I do not know.

Mmmm...

I have not witnessed it yet.  
Although I do compile some Handlebars templates during that specific Node load, I'll keep an eye out on it. And if I get more reports, I'll look at investigating it further.

Thanks
