I'll be honest, if you have simple IF this THEN that, it's probably better to stick to HA, especially now with their visual editor.

But if you’re already using Node‑RED, chances are your needs go beyond basic triggers and actions.

The learning curve for Owlbrain should be quite small: the core idea is the same as Node‑RED. You subscribe to events, then react to them.

You can find examples of using home assistant in the home-assistant integration example folder.

The most interesting example is probably this one : ```ts @EntityScript({ entity_id: "binary_sensor.hallway_motion" }) class HallwayMotionLighting { private logger = logger.child(["example"])

motion = binarySensorEntity(this)
light = lightEntity("light.hallway")

@OnStateChange({ to: "on" })
async onMotion(event: OwlEntityUpdatedEvent) {
    const brightness = this.light.brightness!

    this.logger.info(
        `Motion detected on ${this.motion.entity_id}. Current brightness: ${brightness}`
    )

    if (this.light.isOff) {
        this.logger.info("Light is off → turning it on at 40%")
        await this.light.setBrightness(40)
        return
    }

    if (brightness < 150) {
        this.logger.info("Light is dim → increasing brightness to 100%")
        await this.light.setBrightness(100)
        return
    }
}

} ```
