Hello,

I hope someone can help. Firstly I am a complete novice where Node-red is concerned 🙂

I would like to build a project that scans for particular BLE information (probably "localName") and then trigger a relay, this will be to open gates.

I have loaded Node-Red v 0.19.5 and then npm install node-red-contrib-generic-ble. When I log onto my Node-red page- LAN IP address:1880 and open pallets I can see the "contrib-generic-ble" node, but it has a red warning triangle with a ! inside and does not appear on the left hand side node listing.

Any assistance as to overcome this would be greatly appreciated.

Peter!

if you installed from the command line, what did the logs say?  
When you restart node-red what messages are displayed in the log on startup?

You also don't mention what platform you are installing Node-RED on.

Sorry, I should have said that this is running on a raspberry Pi 3B. This is what I get when I start node-red;

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node-red-start

Start Node-RED

Once Node-RED has started, point a browser at [http://192.168.1.133:1880](http://192.168.1.133:1880)  
On Pi Node-RED works better with the Firefox or Chrome browser

Use node-red-stop to stop Node-RED  
Use node-red-start to start Node-RED again  
Use node-red-log to view the recent log output  
Use sudo systemctl enable nodered.service to autostart Node-RED at every boot  
Use sudo systemctl disable nodered.service to disable autostart on boot

explains why it is not showing up in the left handside list.

Try reinstalling it on the command line and copy the messages here (after reading the readme)

You aren't using the correct command to install the module. Try reading the README again and follow the suggested command.

Hi,

Ok, I give in, I have followed the process in the README and still the node does not appear.

I am very very new to this, so it would be appreciated if you could point me to the process you recommend I follow.

I do appreciate your help, but as I said I am new to this and finding my feet.

Thanks

Peter

Taken from the nodes README

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/f/feede2a223be727a2e0e8791a30e13c72d89ba62.png)

This is not the command you ran. At least some of the issues are caused by the command you used.

But you are also using node v10 which may or may not be causing other issues. ( the recommended version is as per [https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/installation](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/installation)

If you are very new to this I would suggest starting again and follow the installation instructions on the raspberry pi page [https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi](https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi) which will probably save you more pain later.

and never use sudo unless the instructions say you need to.

Ok,

I did a complete reinstall following the README instructions to the letter. Unfortunately the problem still exits. I am at a loss as to what to do next ☹

So I have done a complete rebuild, as below;

Loaded 2018-06-27 Raspian Lite   
Ran - sudo apt-get update   
Ran - Sudo apt-get upgrade   
Followed instructions on - [https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi](https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi)  
Ran - bash \<(curl -sL [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/raspbian-deb-package/master/resources/update-nodejs-and-nodered](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/raspbian-deb-package/master/resources/update-nodejs-and-nodered))   
Ran - node -v (confirmed V10.15.0 loaded)   
Ran - npm -v (confirmed v 6.5.0 loaded)   
Ran - cd ~/.node-red   
Ran - npm rebuild   
Ran - npm ls --depth=0   
Ran - cd ~/.node-red   
Ran - npm install node-red-contrib-generic-ble

The output from loading nodejs and node red is;

spbian-deb-package/master/resources/update-nodejs-and-nodered)

Stop Node-RED ✔  
Remove old version of Node-RED ✔  
Remove old version of Node.js ✔  
Install Node.js LTS ✔ Node v10.15.0 Npm 6.5.0  
Clean npm cache ✔  
Install Node-RED core ✔ 0.19.5  
Move global nodes to local -  
Install extra Pi nodes ✔  
Npm rebuild existing nodes -  
Add shortcut commands ✔  
Update systemd script ✔

Any errors will be logged to /var/log/nodered-install.log

All done.  
You can now start Node-RED with the command node-red-start  
or using the icon under Menu / Programming / Node-RED  
Then point your browser to localhost:1880 or http://{your\_pi\_ip-address}:1880

I suspect the problem lie with the version of nodejs being used, do you agree.

Hi @ttquattroman

The ble node depends on the `usb` npm module, which in turn needs some additional dependencies to be installed outside of npm's control.

Run

```auto
sudo apt-get install build-essential libudev-dev

```

To get the missing library, then retry the npm install.

When I install it in MANAGE PALETTE node-red-contrib-generic-ble there is going something wrong:

 ![contrib_ble](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/e/e9497cbe5cacb9ffb6bd705e47330dd2281337df.png)

Even if I follow the readme ([https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-generic-ble](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-generic-ble)) and install manually I can not use the module.

Copy/paste what you see when you install manually. You can copy from the terminal using Ctrl-Shift-C

These are the versions that I think are up to date.

Looking at this [1] it seems that the node is not compatible with node.js 10 yet. There are some workarounds in that thread or you can downgrade to node 8. I don't think node 10 is recommended for node-RED yet.
