Well, I managed to reproduce it and it was not working for rpi4 due to some libraries missing It will take a couple of day until we merge those changes into the code, but for now you can use the following code: > **[balenalabs/balena-node-red](https://github.com/balenalabs/balena-node-red/tree/add_Dockerfilerpi4)** > > a node-red application with balena-supervisor support, can be managed remotely via resin publicURL - balenalabs/balena-node-red Just download that one (it is the same repository you were already using, but another branch) and do **balena push** to your application, I have just tried it on my rpi4 and it works I hope you enjoy it ---

Is this the library you are installing? and are you doing it from here? If yes, I don’t see any problems, what are the properties you have set to those pins? ---

Hello ! That seems to be a problem with that the library, I might also be regarding the architecture of the raspberrypi4 I could reproduce the error on those particular pin, I have tried it on GPIO4 (pin7) and it works fine. I will try to see if there is a workaround/fix for that, ut I couldn’t find anything so far ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/balena/original/2X/7/79d08933f34d768fa017df4149dfe09df2548936.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/balena/original/2X/f/faaccd0ef492e0f123b33acb8013fcde0bb3b660.jpeg) ---

Hi there, So it seems like the `pi-gpio` library is at fault here. Juan has tried really hard to find a solution for you, but since it doesn’t seem to be a balenaOS issue, he’s come to the end of what he can do. Maybe you can ask for some support from the maintainers of the library? Thanks, Phil [Previous page](https://forums.balena.io/t/node-does-not-work-with-balena-node-red/184689.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.balena.io/t/node-does-not-work-with-balena-node-red/184689.md?page=3)
