I have found an old seed phrase for a lightning node I set up a long time ago that hasn’t been in use. I assume funds are there. Can I recreate it in the umbrel eco system?

Was the seed phrase from an Umbrel node, or some other LN implementation?

If/when this happens on my end, I usually import the seed phrase into a new BlueWallet first to see if the seed phrase represents an on-chain wallet of some sort. BlueWallet is good at restoring on-chain BTC funds, and it’s open-source so I trust it.

another LN implementation. How can I import into BlueWallet. Don’t see that option.
