Hi, this message disturbs me each time I deploy, showing the list of "unused" nodes it shows me 2 nodes which are used and vital for my flow, I can't remove or disable them. One is the control node of node-red-contrib-tuya-devices 1.5.4, another is a device of the same module, connected to other modules in flow. There are other devices of the same module which don't create such problem. How can I get rid of such message?  
Maybe module is not 100% compatible with my NR 4.0.5? Should I notice the author about that?  
Thanks

Giovanni,

It may help if you share some screen shots.

I suspect you have TWO of the same named nodes. But can't be sure.

Check the 'config' tab, any node with a `0` behind it are the cause of the message.

thank you bakman2, by your post I could identify what is wrong here, and now I write the author about that.  
In particular I have hided double nodes, defines as models.
