[NEW GUIDE] Learn how to use\u00a0Node-RED Dashboard with your Raspberry Pi<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If you followed the Build a Home Automation System for $100 course<\/a> prior to August 27 2016, you know that I\u2019ve used Node-RED-Contrib-UI to build the user interface\u00a0for the home automation system. But, sadly the guy that developed the Node-RED-Contrib-UI will no longer be able to update that package.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the Node-RED team announced that Node-RED-Contribu-UI will continue to be developed\u00a0under\u00a0a new name: Node-RED-Dashboard.<\/p>\n

You have two options<\/h3>\n

If you have the original course (before August 27 2016) and you have Node-RED-Contrib-UI on your Node-RED installation you have two options:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Follow these next instructions to migrate from Node-RED-Contrib-UI to Node-RED-Dashboard<\/li>\n
  2. Continue using Node-RED-Contrib-UI. It will continue to work, but will no longer be updated<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now, it\u2019s up to you. Migrating all the nodes and update the Arduino code will take a couple of hours and you\u2019ll have to follow the course since Module\u00a05\u00a0Unit\u00a02.<\/p>\n

    Exporting and backing up your Node-RED nodes<\/h3>\n

    I encourage you to export\/back up all your Node-RED nodes<\/a> before you continue.<\/p>\n

    Migration from Node-RED-Contrib-UI<\/h3>\n

    Node-RED-Contrib-UI MUST be uninstalled before installing node-red-dashboard.<\/p>\n

    pi@raspberry:~ $ sudo apt-get install npm<\/strong>\r\npi@raspberry:~ $ sudo npm install -g npm@2.x<\/strong> \r\npi@raspberry:~ $ hash -r<\/strong>\r\npi@raspberry:~ $ cd ~\/.node-red<\/strong> \r\npi@raspberry:~\/.node-red $ sudo npm uninstall node-red-contrib-ui<\/strong><\/pre>\n
    Installing Node-RED-Dashboard<\/h3>\n
    Run these two commands to install Node-RED Dashboard and reboot your Pi:<\/p>\n
    pi@raspberry:~\/.node-red $ sudo npm install node-red-dashboard<\/strong>\r\npi@raspberry:~\/.node-red $ sudo reboot<\/strong><\/pre>\n
    \"terminal<\/p>\n
    Open Node-RED<\/h3>\n
    After rebooting you RPi, go to the Node-RED software.\u00a0Your previous nodes will have errors:<\/p>\n
    \"Node-RED<\/p>\n
    I simply deleted every old Node-RED-Contrib-UI node and started from scratch. Here’s the new Dashboard nodes:<\/p>\n
    \"Node-RED<\/p>\n
    Note: <\/strong>the ui_radio_button node is no longer supported.<\/p>\n
    What do do next<\/h3>\n
    You need\u00a0to download the updated\u00a0Build a Home Automation System for $100 course<\/a>\u00a0version\u00a0that I’ve sent to all customers\u00a0via email.<\/p>\n
    Go to Module 5\u00a0Unit 2\u00a0to continue the course and update the code ESP8266 and Arduino with the new features.<\/p>\n
    To be honest, the upgrade is well worth it and it has a new set of features that I bet you\u2019ll find interesting.<\/p>\n
