# Node-RED for Home Assistant Build Node-RED flows using node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket nodes (v0.80+). **Requirements:** Node-RED 4.x (Node.js 18+), Home Assistant 2024.3.0+. ## The Iron Law ``` USE CURRENT NODE NAMES - NEVER OUTDATED ONES ``` The node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket package has renamed several nodes. Using old names produces broken flows that silently fail. ## The Process ``` User request │ ▼ HA server config node exists in Node-RED? │ no ─────────────────────────┐ │ yes ▼ │ Set up `server` config first │ (URL, access token, allow self-signed if needed) │ │ ▼ ◀────────────────────────────┘ Pick trigger node (current names only — see table below) │ │ time-based? ──▶ inject (time) or trigger-state with cron │ state-change? ──▶ trigger-state OR events:state │ event? ──▶ events:all (filtered by event_type) │ external? ──��� http in (webhook) / mqtt in │ ▼ Add filter/condition (current-state, switch, template) │ ▼ Pick action node (current names only) │ │ call HA service? ──▶ call-service (`action`, not `service`) │ set entity state? ──▶ call-service light.turn_on / etc. │ send HTTP? ──▶ http request │ notify? ──▶ call-service notify.* │ ▼ Battery-drain risk? ──yes──▶ Add throttle/delay
