I have just installed the pallette, and see this error in my installed pallettes. Is that normal as I have not even started trying to configure ?

I installed the node and have the same issue. I would suggest you open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/sanlike0911/node-red-contrib-tplink-tapo-connect-api/issues) and explain the problem to the node’s author.

I am seeing the same problem. I suggest posting an issue on the [node's github page](https://github.com/sanlike0911/node-red-contrib-tplink-tapo-connect-api/issues). Include the node-red and nodejs versions in the description. Post a link to it here so that if anyone else has the same problem they can go there. It seems to be actively maintained so you should get a response.
Link back to this thread and point out that others have the same issue.

@zenofmud I think we must be telepathically linked in some way, we keep doing this sort of thing.

Add the details that I suggested. It may well be a nodejs version issue.

This issue occurred due to a reference to an old file, "tplink\_tapo\_connect\_api."
We have released the next version with this outdated reference removed.
I have released version 0.5.4.
I would appreciate it if you could check and let me know if everything works as expected.

This is not showing yet, its still showing 0.5.3 after deleting the pallette and searching for it in available pallettes. I will try again in a few days
