Node-red-contrib-openhab3 in Openhab 5

General

Good evening,
I've been trying to get a new installation of openhab+node-red up and running for a couple of weeks. The problem arises when I start configuring the first openhab node and defining the controller. When I activate it, I get this error that completely blocks node-red. The error I get is the following:

[red] Uncaught Exception:
2 Aug 23:07:08 - [error] TypeError: config.port.trim is not a function
at getConnectionString (/home/openhabian/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-openhab3/77-openhab2.js:54:42)

at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:512:7)
nodered.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
nodered.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Has this happened to anyone else? I've reinstalled the system from scratch a couple of times, but the problem remains the same. Could it be due to the latest version of openhab? (openHAB 5.0.0)
I'm desperate and don't know what to do. My knowledge is limited, and I'm stuck here... Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!

Is there a reason you want to use openhab? Few (if any) here use it. I tried it a long time ago and decided that it didn't have any advantages (for me) over using node-red.

Good afternoon, I use Opehab to integrate open devices or systems, which, thanks to its bindings, connect easily with it. For example, in one house, I have an open-source home automation system (Souliss), which connects easily with Open-Hab. Also because it has a user-friendly interface. I've seen that Open-Hab is limited and I need Node-Red for many operations, especially for interconnections between communication systems, Modbus, serial, etc., and with this, I've seen its incredible potential.
Why do you say that? Do you only use Node-Red for everything?
Do you think I could connect Souliss to Node-Red?
Do you know of any user-friendly interface via mobile phone to interact directly with Node-Red?
Sorry for so many questions, but I was surprised by the answer...
Thank you in advance and best regards.

In the context of this question then mostly, yes.

Google suggests that Soulis (whatever that is) can communicate via MQTT. MQTT is very easy in node-red.

https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/ does that for me. There is also node-red-contrib-uibuilder (node) - Node-RED.

Just browse this forum to see the vast range of applications that node-red is used for.
