Newbie alert: Getting errors both in Webapp and Node-RED

[Caribsailor]

The root cause for extra complexity in this case is using a standalone Node-RED.

If you install Node-RED from the Signal K App store SK integration works without any extra steps or need for MQTT server.

Longer explanation: there are two things at play here:

SK Node-RED plugin that runs nr embedded in SK server.

Node-RED library that contains nodes that integrate with SK data. This works ONLY when used with the embedded Node-RED.

Things get needlessly complex if you do not set things up the way they are supposed to fit together.

AHHHH! I believe you solved my issue. 

I was unaware that Mqtt was integral with SignalK and installed Mqtt on my Pi

I will do a fresh install.

Thank you
