Problem with hue magic => hue switch => no payload

I am using a HueSwitch-Node in hue magic. The switch itself is configured and functioning within the hue bridge. The switch can turn lights on and off.
Now, I want to use the switch in Node-red.
BUT the switch node does not throw (send) messages to a debug-node. So far, it's the same as in this Tread. https://discourse.nodered.org/t/i-have-a-problem-with-the-hue-switch/8235

But in difference to this trade I haven´t also any messages under the switch.
It is the same behavior for the motion sensors. Lights can be easily controlled and the status is updated.

v0.20.8 in node red menue
node -v 10.16.3
2.0.2 HueMagic

What I have tried by now is:

  • reboot raspberry
  • Uninstall / Install hue magic
  • Hue Bridge removed and reintegrated

Unfortunately without success. Can someone help me there?

Is it possibly related to the update to 2.0.2? However, I have previously removed two hue bridges that were not in use. I just do not know how I can proceed now.

Maybe someone in my log will see an indication of the problem.
It's weird that the log keeps repeating itself.

Looks like you already have an instance running as the port is in use.

Many thanks for the answer. Is it possible that a second instance is started via iobroker? Is it basically possible that the sensor values ​​in hue magic are not updated because of two running instances? The status of the lights is updating strangely.
