Delay in in-/outputs via Node-Red

[Pierre321]

Hi all,

i did this week a flashing of the buster image to a Revpi Core 4GB and a RevPi Core 3+ 8GB Edition and imported my Nodes from previous system (Jessie). Since the update there seems to be a delay of about 5s between the action in Nodered and a "physical" action via the output moduls. For example if a want to set an output to 1 via a button on a dashboard or switch the A1 led for debug purposes on and off it is delayed by min. 5 seconds. if i do it directly with "pitest" it works immediately. During programming in Node-Red i get also sometimes a red bubble under my nodes meaning that the Pins are not connected.
Did anybody else has similar issues with the new image or possible a solution how to fix this?

Best regards Pierre

Hi Pierre321, please have a look at the release notes Buster 04 2021 at "Node.JS, npm and Node-RED not from Debian Repository".
There have been changes to NodeJS and Node-RED. This means that some steps have to be done manually when using Node-Red from previous installations.

Hi Dirk,

thanks for your answer. Maybe i missunderstood the release notes, but they were speaking from an upgrade from stretch to buster? I exported my flows from the older configuration and did a complete flash of the RevPi with the buster image and afterwards an import of the flow and the installation of the needed addtional nodes via the Node-red palet manager. Unfortunately i have today no access to the RevPi, but i would try on wednesday with a clean installation of the buster image and no imported notes to reduce possible influences.

Edit:
Could fix the issues, it seems the code was the issues, i had too many flows in my node-red dashboard. I am thinking about splitting the dashboard function to another pi 4 to decrease the load and only connect to the revpi node server. Is there a timeline for the new RevPi Core4 module?

Best Regards Pierre
