I use NodeRed extensively with home assistant, here's an example of a flow:
My front door opens (trigger) > turns lights on, but then also: > wait 3 minutes > check if my or spouse's phone is pingable > if neither phones are pingable then turn off all lights, AC units, and enable house alarm
Also another flow that's uses daily:
8:30pm(trigger) > check which house lights are on > any light that is on trigger a gradual temperature shift to warm and brightness to 50% over 10 minutes
Not sure about those, I've only uses it with home assistant and virtual logic and communication.
The most I use it when it comes to hardware is sending commands to my phones/tablets/laptops to run on/off, open urls, toggle wifi/Bluetooth, etc.
