Hello
Just wondering if anyone uses Node-red-contrib-rainbird. It was working great but ever since Rainbird did a firmware update last week it has stopped working.
Anyone else have the same issue or know how to fix it?

I see this has been raised as an issue against the node, I suggest you watch that issue.

Update on this - Apparently the controller's local API doesn't accept connections on port 80 anymore, only 443. Refer to this link [Unable to connect to Rainbird RC2 Controller · Issue #162671 · home-assistant/core · GitHub](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/162671)
It's a long shot, but would anyone what changes need to be made to [node-red-contrib-rainbird/node-rainbird.js at main · maciejs20/node-red-contrib-rainbird · GitHub](https://github.com/maciejs20/node-red-contrib-rainbird/blob/main/node-rainbird.js)
to get it to work again?

Maybe just try changing this line to use `https` instead of `http`?

At a quick glance I would try changing line153 to be https
