Hi All

I have just installed Node-red on it's own PI after the previous version went weird on a Hoobs install.

Now I seem to be having issues - Log is below so please can anyone point me in the right direction?

It looks like the Doorbird node but now I cannot get onto the interface to remove it due to it disconnecting.

Thanks

As far as i can see from this error ↑ it suggests in your flows, an entry has a non string `id` property.

Can you share your flow?

Thanks for replying - I have another problem with Node-red as the logs may have taken up the memory so I will have to sort that first and then send you the flow.

Thanks
