Hi. I'm running the latest Node Red add on in HAOS. It keeps telling me update 4.1.2 is available but being very new to Home assistant and node red, I have no idea how to do it from within the addon in home assistant.
Hi @Spidy67 welcome to the forum. Although there are a few home assistant users on this forum, you might have better luck asking on the home assistant forum. regardless of how to update node-red in home assistant, they (HAOS folk) will need to actually release an update that incorporates node-red 4.1.2 - this may not yet be done. Idk
I believe that the alternative is to remove the HA plugin and install node red standalone. One can then, I understand, install the home assistant nodes into that node red and get the same capabilities as with the plugin, but have full control over your node red. This is only what I have read, however, personally I would not use HA at all unless there were no alternative.
Updating is typically done from within the Settings of Home Assistant. There, you'll get a notification when updates are available for HA itself or for any add-ons you might have. So, you don't typically do that from inside the add-on.
In this case, the update is only just made available.
I'd think the update notifications inside Node-RED should not be enabled in the add-on, to avoid this confusion.
