Hi Keon, what do the logs show?

Hi Steve,

thank you so much for your response, I am not so experience with NodeRed, i do not know where to find the log

When you try to install the node using 'manage palette', you should see a button 'View log'.
Click it, and wait until it installs (or fails), then select and copy the log, and paste it into the forum.
NOTE - it can take a couple of minutes for the installation to fully complete.

HI Paul,
thanks you for your response I am using manage palette', but with me there is sadly no button View Log,
I found a site to install pushover https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-node-pushover but this give me also errors.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ~/.node-red
-bash: /home/pi/.node-red: Is a directory

Your device running node-red has no internet connectivity

I'd be quite surprised if this node even works with such old versions of nodejs and npm.

What kind of device is node-red running on? Can it be updated?

Besides the missing internet connectivity, your manual attempt also would have failed because your first command failed -- you need to type cd ~/.node-red to change to that directory before doing the install.

...also it's
npm install node-red-node-pushover
and not...
npm install node-node-pushover

Hi Guys,

Thanks guys for all your help, it is very appreciated, but I always get errors whatever I try, so I decided to

Clean my micro SD card and start all over so that I will get the latest Raspbian Lite OS, Node-Red etc. versions, in the hope that it than well will work.

Thanks again I will get you posted

With kind regards

Koen

PS a Raspberry Pi 3B will that be good enough or do I have to buy a Pi 4?

Although Pi 3B's are 6 year old now, they should still work fine for general node-RED flows, unless you are planning to process video, or some other demanding functions.

THanks Paul,
So I do not need to buy an other RPI, the node PUSHOVER should not be a problem then, that is the node I desperately want.
With kind regards Koen

Pushover should work fine :+1:

Thanks Paul
