I don't myself but I know that many use Node-RED[0] for home assistant applications. It comes with thousands of plugins, easy to construct web frontends and it's completely open source.

I believe one can also combine it with Home Assistant, I think there are interfaces.

Learning curve is initial exponential (think of visual Unix pipes) but once understood, there are limitless things that you can do with Node-RED. It's basically a visual programming frontend to NodeJS.

This is what use for my home automations, including some Shelly 1s. It's pretty neat.

That's just some silly scripting GUI, isn't it?

No real reason to write code in blocks when you know how to not do that.

I have an express server that runs my automations using the REST API.
