Node-Red Testinstance for Homematic

[oma]

I am running Redmatic on my CCU3 without trouble. Now i would like to have a testbed seperate from "production" if you like. I did setup another instance of Nodered on a seperate (x86!) Server and left redmatic on the CCU (arm).
I did install almost all plugins fine, but node-red-contrib-ccu seems to make trouble. After i imported all flows from my CCU into the non-prod Node Red i get a warning that flows are stopped by a missing Nodetype: ccu-connection

I also habe no way of configuring an external one as the edit button is missing:

I understand that there are obvious CPU Architecture differences but i was still hoping to be able to use Node-Red with an "non-localhost" CCU - my mistake? I can have a look running a VM of Redmatic (available for x86) somewhere but i hope i can simple skip to maintain another OS instance... Any ideas?

Go into your .node-red folder and run
npm remove node-red-contrib-ccu
npm install node-red-contrib-ccu
and if the install does not end with something like

+ node-red-contrib-ccu@3.4.0
added 39 packages from 62 contributors in 10.389s

then copy/paste the output from the install command here. Use the </> button at the top of the forum entry window when you paste it.
If it does end as I showed then restart node-red and see if it is now ok.

well, i still have no possibility to add a CCU:

anything you can see in here?

[dceejay]

Yes the first line tells you it wants nodejs version 10 or better and you have node 8.

[oma]

agree - installed nodejs 10 and it seems to run now but looks like there is still a problem that the datapoints don´t go through...
