Hi i´m trying out if tradfri in connection with node red is a good option for my home.
I´ve got the tradfri gateway and some bulbs. For testing purposes I installed node red on my local windows PC.
Unfortunately i don´t get the connection to the gateway. Presumably it´s becaus of the coap library. They are onloy precompiled for debai raspian and osx. (in C:\Users\User1.node-red\node_modules\node-tradfri-argon\lib).
Is there a way the get this working on windows or do i need a raspian?
Have you tried the other tradfri contrib node?
there ist an error installing the other node

Looks like the install of this dependency failed. I just tried installing that manually on my W10 dev PC and it worked fine. Do you have build-essentials installed? As with many Node.JS modules, there is a binary component in that module that has to be compiled.
Then I did a npm install node-red-contrib-node-tradfri and that worked fine as well.
is build essential a installation in node red (manage palette) or somewhere else? Sorry - I´m new to node red and couldn´t find this through a search.
I also tried node-ahead-crypto - there is no match in palette
Please read the docs on Node-RED install on Windows
https://nodered.org/docs/platforms/windows
node-ahead-crypto is a package used by the node you are trying to install with a successful install it is installed for you.

Hi
thank yue very much for your support.
As far I understood I´ve forgotten the windows build tools.
I have installed them with the following commands (admin cmd)
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
and
npm install --global --production --add-python-to-path windows-build-tools
i also restartet the system.
But the error while installing the other tradfri module occurs again. Here the output of the command line

is there a way to manually compile the libcoap with the npm build tools ?
Not sure where that comes from but it doesn't look right. It should be:
C:\Users\Michael\.windows-build-tools\python27\python.exe
Note the additional backslash. Can you check your PATH environment variable., it should contain:
C:\Users\Michael\.windows-build-tools\python27\
and you should be able to run this from the command line:
> python --version
You should get
Python 2.7.14
back.
This will happen automatically, you need to get the build stuff sorted or you will have all sorts of issues. This isn't a problem with a Node.JS module or Node-RED, it is an issue with your environment.
