I have an cloud account. When local, I have been connecting to http://homeassistant.local:8123/. I would like to see if I can connect to https://homeassistant.local:8123/ becuase node red doesnt work properly over HTTP. When i go to https://homeassistant.local:8123/ it says "This site can’t provide a secure connection
homeassistant.local sent an invalid response.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" Any ideas how to solve this?

You largely can't

#

(and you certainly can't with the HA Cloud service)

#

You'd need a valid SSL cert for homeassistant.local

ok so then my issue may be that i need to solve with node red.

Yes, NodeRed works fine over HTTP

#

Something's clearly messed up with your particular setup

for me, when i access via http though HA, it shows the inject nodes as greyed out. when i connect to https://homeassistant.local:1880/ directly, inject nodes work

I'm sure #1284980040940912641 with the Node Red tag can help (even if the problem isn't with automations in Node Red, that's just the only place with a NR tag)
