> My main issue with Node-RED is that I have to install, run and maintain it myself. There have been times when I've forgotten which Raspberry Pi it was running on and I've re-flashed the SD card!

Installing Node-RED is a low-effort task. Setting up backups of your flows is a tad more effort, but plenty of documentation around this. It also does IMAP, I believe. In an article bemoaning vendor abandonment syndrome, something free that runs on your own equipment, is a feature.

A post-it note would be a cheaper solution to that second problem.

Also, if you don't want to install and maintain Node-Red yourself we're working on a hosted solution with FlowForge https://flowforge.com/
