Has the Pi5 GPIO issue been resolved? Most of the topics are dated with February 2025 indicating the issue may be ongoing. I'm finding GPIO inputs to be very unstable and frequently toggle status for unknown reasons. Is there a working lib for GPIO on the Pi 5?

My understanding (which may be wrong) is that it is the OS version Bookworm that is the problem, rather than the pi 5

Thanks. My understanding is that there is a chip/hardware change with the Pi5. The Pi guys are recommending a lib change to support GPIO on Pi5. I'm guessing here, but, doesn't this require a change to the Node-RED node to accommodate the new lib? How do I get Node-RED to utilize the new lib? I think the correct recommendation was GPIOZero.

Yes. I think that is correct. That requires a rewrite of the node that then wouldn’t work on older devices. Meanwhile they also released a library that is supposed to be compatible with both and so we picked that route. But it seems that the overall combination isn’t that reliable.
