Cannot get any Victron Nodes to work in Node Red, keep getting an error

Hi, I have some very simple nodes in Node Red.

One for example is just getting a temp value from a temperature sensor and outputting the payload to a debug node, but I keep getting an error.

Have tried using different nodes to output very simple info from the MPPT, Inverter and a Cerbo GX. All return the same error in the debug window when I deploy:


TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'client')


What am I doing wrong? Do I need to do some extra steps to get it to work?

Using a Cerbo GX with the latest "Official Release" v3.34

Found the issue. In the config for all nodes the "Victron Energy Client" node had been disabled. Enabling it fixes the issue.
