@tiger As I said - I have no alexa - however when users used it they had good experience .
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-virtual-smart-home
You need to register it.

But to be honest - if there are only problems with alexa and the other flows work - you may should ask for help from users who work with alexa. So if all your other nodes work - then you should open a separate thread to solve your alexa issues.

@mickym
node-red is only for alexa...
all other node are for the programmation of alexa.

I had register, connect...

but you are right, I think we can continue to upgrade and i will solve the problem of node-red after

[Tiger]

@mickym

Your node is extremely good and easy...
everything is working now

@Homoran

Everything is good now, not VIS, SOCKETIO and WEB but we've to upgrade :)

can you help me to do it in a correct way?

[Tiger]

@mickym

Hy,
everything is update...
The only problem is node-red, on the left, when I click On Node-Red icon, I have to login,
But it failed and I don't know why..
Is there another user or password? I out the usernam and password written in the configuration of Node-red

Thanks

@tiger I do not work with authentication. May be you should disable it in the adapter config.

THanks a lot for your help !
My system is completely as before but with all update !!! (just the problem of login in node red)

Last question, to stay up to date, I've only to check if there is update on Iobroker?
As I don't go very often in the page of iobroker, is it possible to send all the update available via notification on vis?

Thanks a lot for all!

[Tiger]

@mickym
ok works without password...strange

Thanks a lot :)

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

As I don't go very often in the page of iobroker,

as you've learned the last days, you should keep your system up to date.
so you surely will open puTTY at least all 2 weeks and upgrade the system with
sudo apt update followed by a sudo apt upgrade

after finishing upgrading the OS you can upgrade iobroker the same way with iobroker update followed by a iobroker upgrade

I know, this isn't any new information for you :-)

How to display existing upgrades in the vis, you should ask in another thread, as I don't know

[Tiger]

@homoran
you're right... with PuTTY is more easy...
Very big THANK YOU.

@tiger For the nodes within Node-Red you need to look to the palette manager. If you use the linux device adapter, you get automatically states where you can see if update packages are available.
