I have been using the various Node Red custom nodes in Home Assistant for a while to easily control the LED bar on my Red Series Dimmers however they have all seemingly gone missing from NR after a recent update and I’m unable to find them anywhere. Anyone else having this issue or know how I can get them back?
I moved away from NR a few years ago, but it’s possible that the custom nodes you were using aren’t compatible with the latest update. Go into your pallet manager and see if there’s an update for the inovelli node pallet you were using. If that’s not it, I’d roll back the NR version at least for now until somebody else who’s using it can chime in.
It appears to have uninstalled itself. I did not actually update NR but Home Assistant to the current 2024 11.1 release. when I try to reinstall the nodes I get the following log error.

It looks like that node pallet references a bunch of nodes that are deprecated.
I believe the one I was using was node-red-contrib-ha-inovelli-manager
That said, there are other ways to accomplish notification bar settings. Depending on the model, there could even be an entity in HA that you can control using the standard home assistant nodes. If it’s the older reds I don’t believe that works.
Example: number.master_bedroom_light_ledcolorwhenoff
You can call the number.set action and set the LED colour that way. I believe the entities are disabled by default and you have to enable them. But if
Today I learned this! Thank you 
Now the down side is that I’ll have to go enable and name that entity for 70 switches. Don’t suppose you have a trick to doing this in bulk?
Not that I know of.
Make sure you get all 4 for the notifications. 3 are grouped together but one is not.
What are you using now? Assuming you’re using Home Assistant? Are you using the [much improved] built-in automation framework? Something else?
Hey sorry, missed this. Yeah I moved to the built-in automations.
My journey to it wasn’t normal LOL. After ST I went to HE for local automations. But it was plagued with slowdowns and needed constant reboots. So I spun up HA, used the HE integration and then NR to control everything. Fixed my HE issues. But then HE started randomly crashing so I moved fully to HA and kept with NR. But after quite a while that way, I was part of a group where NR would start crashing and it took like 3-4 months for that bug to get fixed. So in the meantime I started using the built-in automation platform and never really looked back.
