It took about 2 years but I finally migrated the last couple of Node Red flows into Home Assistant as native automations. Ironically the one I migrated last is the best example for why I did it - mobile (phone) editing, which Node Red just can't handle effectively. The final migrated flow was one that monitors for Zwave event notifications coming from my light switches (e.g. double tap/keyheld etc) and it's really great that I can edit these using the HA automation editor on my phone standing by the light switches, rather than running back and forth to my laptop each time I want to test the action of the physical switch.

Nothing against Node Red otherwise, it filled a gap when it was needed most - but HA has evolved to a point where I can't find a use case for it otherwise. I'll still keep it installed (but not running) in case someone shares something that I want to check out.

What are your Node Red use cases (other than legacy reasons)?
