Hi, I tried to add a led to my dashboard but it isn't added to the dashboard:

Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

I'm not sure, your pasted code works a-ok here:

Have you checked the Node-Red logs or console? Perhaps there was an issue installing the UI-LED node.

Weird, could it be something with my Node red installation in general? I'm running node red (v0.20.5: Maintenance Release) on a Raspberry Pi. I setup a fresh raspberry and installed a fresh node red on it ans I still have the same issue. But... I noticed after my original post here that I have a similar problem with a different node (https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-heater-controller) ...
Hope someone canshed some light on this :)

Are you installing Node-RED the same way as described in #8 or seeing any of the same other errors?

[AlbanT]

As of this morning I got it working.
I updated to the newest version of node-red-contrib-ui-led and rebooted my Raspberry... And now it works perfectly.

[yoiang]

That's great to hear! Hmmm, I'm not sure what change would have affected dependency resolution, I'll have to dig a little deeper to understand what was fixed. Do you install your Node-RED via apt-install by any chance?

Yes I did....

[yoiang]

Gotcha, so this may very well resolve #8. Thanks so much for your help!
