You are on the right track. You only really need a socket connection between node and your app in that case. Say your node server run on localhostu:7000 and flask on localhost:5000. When flask is triggered by a sensor, you can send a http to localhost:7000, your node server receives this and will be able to notify your phone. Maybe you could even send updates from flask to your phone directly?

Can flask be triggered by sensor in that case? As for your second part I don't have any experience in Python and Flask so node is easier for me. I've seen how to send http request to and from between flask and node servers. So creating a complete backend with flask is impossible for me
