Lookup devices fails

[nordish1]

When I update the alexa-smart-home-v3-node to search for devices, no devices will be found.
The log shows:

Problem looking up unsername's devices
,getDevices error: TypeError: First argument should be a valid curve name

Can you confirm Node-RED version you are running?

[nordish1]

node-red 0.20.2
node-red-contrib-alexa-smart-home 0.4.29

[coldfire84]

Can you confirm if this issue persists with Node-RED 0.20.3 (currently running this myself, with the latest version of the nodes)

[nordish1]

The issue persists with Node-RED 0.20.3

[coldfire84]

Thanks, I can't replicate on my production instance. Going to build a fresh Node-RED install and test.
Are you able to revert back to a previous version of the nodes?

[coldfire84]

node-red-contrib-alexa-smart-home updated to 0.4.30 / published on npmjs, can you advise if this version shows the same issue.

[nordish1]

Now my Node-RED container restarts regularly. The log shows the following error:

And a lot of this:

That's not good :(

Can you confirm how you've installed Node-RED, and importantl;y what version of node.js you are running, when Node-RED starts you'll see some thing like this in the Node-RED log:

24 Mar 22:28:35 - [info] Node-RED version: v0.20.3
24 Mar 22:28:35 - [info] Node.js  version: v8.15.1

I suspect it is Node related, rather than Node-RED/ the update itself.

[coldfire84]

Based upon this assumption, I've modified a revision of the nodes to only apply the 'ecdhCurve' request parameter for node.js 8 deployments or newer. This parameter was added fairly recently to address this known issue.

@nordish1, please do let me know the NodeJS version you're running to confirm this is root cause (or discount). Sorry for any inconvenience.

[coldfire84]

Did this resolve your issue?

[nordish1]

@coldfire84 Sorry, but I can't check it before weekend

+1 - same issue

Node Red: V0.20.3
node-red-contrib-alexa-smart-home: 0.4.31
node.js: 10.15.3

are you saying we need to downgrade to node v8.15?

[coldfire84]

Can you share full console logs please.
