Hey to all of you,

i have good a strange behaviour with the door bird api. Since my upgrade to node red 3 (before 1.x) and node.js 20 (before node.js 14) i have got an restart of the node red service after every motion, ring and so on in the doorbird.

The log at these times:

```auto

```

Can somebody help me on this problem? Is there a incompability?

So where has the doorbird module come from? Is that a manually installed package, or some other contributed node?

I installed the [node-red-contrib-doorbird-ultimate (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-doorbird-ultimate)  
directly via the palette manager.

Which uses  
doorbird : [doorbird - npm (npmjs.com)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/doorbird)

I think you will need to raise this with the author of the node you installed, as there maybe issues with more recent versions of Node and some upstream Dependencies

I see that the version in node red (1.2.1) is not up to date. in github there is 1.2.3.  
Maybe this fixes the error. Thanks a lot.

@marcus-j-davies

The newest version is node in the node-red-portal but on npm:

You will need to access your servers command line. Assuming a standard install on a Linux server:

```auto
cd ~/.node-red
npm install ihrigb/node-red-contrib-doorbird-ultimate

```

Should do it - assuming the same login on the command line as the user running node red. You will need to restart Node-RED afterwards.

I have just forced an update of the node-red catalogue so 1.3.0 is available through the palette manager now.

Edit, or at least it should be very soon, it doesn't seem to have propagated through yet.
