HI All, it had been a very popular request, and is the most popular third-party widget for Dashboard 1.0, so, I spent last night and this morning building out UI LED for Node-RED Dashboard 2.0:
I've just published it to the Node-RED Catalog: [node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led)
Please give it a go and let me know how you get on. Happy Dashboarding!

On one of my systems it works perfectly, but on another it is completely invisible. If I inspect the space where it should be it is there and I can't see anything wrong. Both systems using latest node red and D2 and nodejs 20. Nothing in the log and no errors in browser log.
I am not proficient in CSS, any suggestions on what I should look for in the inspect details?

When you say it is there, do you mean in the HTML DOM? But renders invisible in the actual Dashboard?
That is odd.
If youre able to reproduce with a small flow, please do open an issue, and I can take a look

Same issue here. Ticket created at [The LED does not show up on the dashboard. · Issue #2 · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led · GitHub](https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led/issues/2)
Minor detail: the GitHub link on the page [@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led](https://flows.nodered.org/node/@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led) points to [https://github.com/flowforge/node-red-dashboard-3rd-party](https://github.com/flowforge/node-red-dashboard-3rd-party) and not to [https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led](https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led)
Thank you!

Minor presentation niggles:
- How come ui-led appears in palette group ui rather than dashboard 2?
- The widget in the palette is uncoloured, not what one would expect from an LED.
- Once dragged into the editor it is unhelpfully gloomy.
- In the User settings popup, Dashboard 2 has no "-2" but @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led does have.

It is all at default settings, just placed on a page. I wonder if it is a sizing issue, on an old tablet that I have I can see it as a tiny red/green dot only a couple of pixels across, though the same dashboard shows nothing on PC or phone. On the PC I did force a full page refresh to no avail.

Possibly try a node-red restart and clear browser cache and refresh page.

Hmm, well thats very bizarre. Something hasn't gone to plan with the publication of the node...

Restarting Node-red has resolved the colour scheme and grouping points.
Problem maybe arose because I installed dashboard 2 and ui-led at the same time?

Quite possibly - although still odd. If Dashbaord 2.0 is installed first, then it shouldn't occur. The `ui-led` utilises some `locales` strings from Dashboard 2.0 in order to work out which category it's meant to live in, and colour scheme, etc.

I have been able to product this, although annoyingly not locally. This isn't an issue with `ui-led`, but the underlying Dashboard 2.0 codebase which is struggling to load third-party widgets. Just tried `ui-webcam` too and it's the same problem.
Although I know that @sumitshinde-84 mentioned he tried `ui-webcam` on FlowFuse after publishing, and it worked okay. For me, it isn't - it's all very odd.

Summary of problems detailed here: [The LED does not show up on the dashboard. · Issue #2 · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led · GitHub](https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led/issues/2#issuecomment-1950219088)
Why it's happening on some instances of NR and not others, I'm yet to decipher. This is a core Dashboard 2.0 problem, rather than `ui-led` specifically.

Hi @joepavitt, I have also tested and found that it works perfectly only if Dashboard 2.0 is installed first. If anyone has installed a third-party widget before, they need to uninstall/remove that package. Afterward, they have to install Dashboard 2.0 first, and then the widget works as expected.

I did already have it installed so that is not the full explanation.

Yeah, I had D2.0 installed first, but still see the problem. Tis very odd.

Yes, I understand. It's not solely about installation; I was simply trying to share how things are on my side so that it will help @joepavitt understand the problem more accurately, going beyond just the installation steps

Performing a clean install of Node-RED, then DB-2 and finally LED-2, and clearing the cache of the browser, solved the issue on the RPi5.
Thank you for the hint!

I just had to restart Node-Red on my RPI and the UI LED worked.

Just a note of concurrence - the node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led widget was invisible until performing a Node-RED restart. Pi4, node 18.19.1, npm 10.2.4, Armbian 24.2.1 jammy.
