Error With Node Red Connection

I’ve installed both https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ignition-nodes and https://github.com/IgnitionModuleDevelopmentCommunity/IgnitionNode-RED/tree/maker but after creating and entering my API keys and secret I am getting this error:
"HTTP error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8088"
Anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

Is your API key exactly 16 characters? It didn’t like anything else

Yes, here’s what I entered (slightly different code than the real one, but same format):
2J4H8U7Y6T5R9I8A

My Home Assistant/Node Red is on a Raspberri Pi and Maker is just installed on my Mac Laptop but both are on the same wireless network - would that create issues?

Yes, the localhost connection is due to the expectation that both Node Red and Ignition are installed on the RPi. I’m not sure if it will work otherwise.

Got it - that makes sense. Thanks!

Fixed it using my local ip (not localhost) - wasn’t thinking straight! Thanks @pturmel
