I am working on my sprinkler flows and after a deploy I get these error messages in my debug tab:

`unknown push type: sms_changed content: {"type":"sms_changed","source_device_iden":"ujEvlJN1IWWsjAiVsKnSTs","notifications":[{"thread_id":"25","title":"262966","body":"Arriving Today: Your Amazon package with .... More info at https://a.co/d/eoatcSg","timestamp":1591124519}]}`

`unknown push type: sms_changed content: {"type":"sms_changed","source_device_iden":"ujEvlJN1IWWsjAiVsKnSTs","notifications":[]}`

I have searched every flow and looked for a highlighted node as I mouse over the error message, but nothing. What node could possibly be generating this message?

Have you upgraded some custom node perhaps? I've ran across similar issues when a new version of a node is not backwards compatible. This can cause a situation where your `flows.json` file has an old configuration that is not anymore editable from the Node-RED editor.

Or if not, have you installed some new node recently that could cause this without any instance?

Found it. I had an old pushbullet node in an unrelated flow.

Been there @SteveMann  
Don't worry, you aren't the only one to do that.

_A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools._
