Im running Node Red in Home Assistant. Currently running version 10.1.1 When i upgrade (currently to 20.2.2) Node Red is looping and the webserver never starts. It looks like its related to a Hue node but im not sure how i can fix this.

The best approach would be to get node-red to launch in safe mode (where the flow is loaded but not started). Then edit the flow to disable the Phillips nodes or to ensure they are upgraded to the newest available

How you do that with Home Assistant I don't know since I don't use it. Best guess would be to insert the `NODE_RED_ENABLE_SAFE_MODE=true` environment variable.

Otherwise you will need to ask on the Home Assistant support pages.

P.S. also please use Node-RED version numbers, not Home Assistant version numbers as we have no idea what they map to. This is v2.1.4 from the logs
